Buried 0 #2 March 7, 2007 Nice! I assume we will expect a nice picture? And if you really want, you should ship the suit to me. I’ll give it the lovin’ it needs..... and return it without a cherry Where is my fizzy-lifting drink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildchild 0 #3 March 7, 2007 Pics will be forthcoming soon as! Although it may not be the obligatory office pic as it may be pretty damn difficult to do the pose with crutches and following doc's orders of not putting weight on the leg. And no - it stays right here by me...I've got to at least keep my body position current with the suit on!!____________________________ "If there is doubt, there is no doubt." - Tonto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildchild 0 #7 March 8, 2007 Absolutely! First priority when I'm in the sky again is to bring that baby up to Joburg and come and stretch my wings. And then in a year's time we'll race____________________________ "If there is doubt, there is no doubt." - Tonto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildchild 0 #14 March 8, 2007 Update: a whole day of phoning UPS every hour and still no suit . They say probably tomorrow. Pierre, I see the doc next Friday and he's doing xrays to see if I can start putting weight on the leg again. It's only 5 weeks since I broke it now, but feeling really good. I'm hoping that it won't be more than 3-4 months out in total (here's holding thumbs!) so that will put me back in the air sometime in May or June. Which is approximately fifteen lifetimes away when you have a serious case of altitude deprivation attacks going on!. Hell, I'm sure I can hook up a rig with a student skymaster in if need be! After all, with such a sexy suit, I'm sure it's not the end of the world if the rig is not that skygoddess-like.____________________________ "If there is doubt, there is no doubt." - Tonto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildchild 0 #15 March 8, 2007 Steve, much as I like you, I think you are a bitch at heart. I expect a full update soon as yours has its first taste of altitude...____________________________ "If there is doubt, there is no doubt." - Tonto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #16 March 8, 2007 Tamsyn, I did my leg at the end of December. I have a very conservative ortho, so just got off the crutches a week ago. I can't tell you how good it felt to be able to go to the kitchen and just grab a plate of food without planning on how to get it back to the table. I hope to be able to jump by mid May so I can participate in Scott's refresher/training weekend. My sports PT is a bit more aggressive. He has me working it hard and it feels better.50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildchild 0 #17 March 8, 2007 That's a LONG time!! Hope you're back in the sky soonI've convinced myself that large amounts of repair are in the mind, so I've decided I'm going to be better soon. Now no-one burst my bubble ok?____________________________ "If there is doubt, there is no doubt." - Tonto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #18 March 8, 2007 Think good thoughts. Mine was a displaced spiral fracture requiring a plate and screws. The ortho thought it might be 6 months before I would be back at full speed. I can't wait that long to get my WS back in the air. It only has 10 jumps on it. It wants to fly.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

saly 0 #19 March 9, 2007 Hey Sean I know the feeling to get some independance back, as you say it is the little things like getting a plate of food from one point to another. Good to hear its getting better. All things being equal I get back this weekend after 2 month off with a broken heel, cant wait because my new S6 should get here today --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildchild 0 #20 March 9, 2007 It just arrived and I don't think the UPS ever saw anyone so excited to get a box! So here are the obligatory office pics, taken in our work gym. Ignore the crutches.

wildchild 0 #25 March 10, 2007 sounds like Jeb better watch out.. Would quite happily give up the steel supports to make Germany, but its not looking realistic at this stage. Unless of course the doc declares miraculous results next Friday, in which case my local bank had better watch out!____________________________ "If there is doubt, there is no doubt." - Tonto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
