CanuckInUSA 0 #1 May 20, 2004 Last night while playing in a beech volleyball match, I came down off of a blocked spike, my right foot was planted one way in the sand and my body was moving another way. What was the result? I suffered some sort of ACL knee injury. I immediately iced it so there is no noticable swelling. But I am hurt. Not seriously, but hurt nonetheless. I can walk on the injury, and put weight on the knee without major pain, but it's still not okay. Time will tell, but jumping this weekend might not be in my future (as long as I can practice packing my BASE rig for my FJC next weekend, then not jumping this weekend isn't the end of the world as I really do need to practice my packing techniques). Being hurt sucks I tell you ... Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflynick 0 #6 May 20, 2004 If you are planning to get into BASE, you'd better get used to it!!! My 2nd jump has put me out for 7 months and counting - and with the Texas weather being this good, it SUX!! Hope it gets better for you, and hope you last longer in the BASE world than I did before hurting yourself..... Blue skies, not black and blue limbs! PS - That'll teach you not to play these extreme sports like beach volley ball!! Get off the beach and into the bar!!! . Hobbes: "How come we play 'War' and not 'Peace'?"

Reminds me of my amateur hockey career where I can't seem to get through a game without some sort of injury. This is my first real volleyball injury since I started playing again two years ago. What sucks though was that I was playing one of my best ever games just before the injury. Dang ... it always seems to work that way huh?

hookitt 0 #12 May 20, 2004 http://bledsoebrace.com/products/osteo/thrust2.htm Might be over kill but I borrowed the boot version and was able to walk a few days after injury. Find a way to make it to Idaho, but don't get hurt over it. Get better!My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

CanuckInUSA 0 #13 May 20, 2004 QuoteFind a way to make it to Idaho, but don't get hurt over it. Get better! At the moment, my Idaho plans are still a go. Of course this could all change if the injury doesn't heal to a certain degree by next week. I am injured, but it doesn't appear to be a serious injury. What sucks is that I still have plenty of packing practice I need to do and packing requires getting down there with bent knees and all. Plus I was hoping to jump the Flik canopy at the DZ this weekend. So time will tell. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 0 #14 May 20, 2004 Jumping it is preferable but you'll get by. Figure out a way to not kneel or bend your knee too much. Sit on your ass and be adaptable. I know you can pack that way, cuz I can. It's a bit challenging but you'll figure it out. Good luck!My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
