laughn_gas 0 #1 May 26, 2009 OK. So I find out two weeks before the opening of the season that I need surgery on my hip. I tell the doctor that it'll have to wait until the end of the season before I actually let him cut on me. I did'nt want to miss out on the fun. After his examination I could barely walk for a week because the cartilage was so torn up. I started thinking about the rest of the skydiving commuinty, and that I would be a safety hazard to others. I decided to have the work done. I will not get to skydive this season. (maybe at the end of the season) I'M happy with my decision not because I feel better, but it's because I thought of the "SAFETY" thing. That to me has been the #1 priority in skydiving for me. I wanted to be the FIRST( beer to everyone) career skydiver without a cutaway. (I had a cutaway last season. I already blew it ) Anyway, since the surgery I have not talked, read, watched, or thought of skydiving. I have not even looked at my rig in the closet. It would be to hard for me to deal with. Now that I feeling better I'm starting to JONES. I don't want to rush anything. But I am getting ants in my f'n pants. I'm also starting to feel bad for not keeping up with things. I should be reading the SIM and keeping current on sport activities. It's just hard!!!! Anyone have any advice out there for me on what I COULD be doing to be active in the sport during this layoff. Besides reading the SIM?See ya in a minute. Peace out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 259 #5 May 26, 2009 Get a camera. Take it to the dz. Stand in the landing area and take video or stills. People will love you. They will give you beer. With beer, it's not as bad as you might think it would be to be at the dz and not jumping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
