Have had a search of the forums but not so much about shoulder dislocations... I dislocated my shoulder yesterday evening at the wall, defo a dislocation not a subluxation. Lucily there was a doctor there and he popped it back in quick (pain). Had an x-ray and there's no fracture, have an MRI tomorrow, got it strapped up and it doesn't really hurt now but aches and feels wrong... Anyway I'm not after advice on what to do as such, I intend to religiously follow what the doc and physio say but I am interested in anyone's recovery experiences, timescales, etc. Also if you were able to get back to where you were climbing before.... I've been mostly sport climbing for a while, did a couple of 7c's this week e.g. and would like to get back up to this kind of climbing although appreciate it might be a while. Any experiences?

Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance for any help

Hey all! I'm hoping everyone here can help me out with something. This year my oldest has suddenly decided that he wants to dress as Fett for Halloween! I have the armor with the vest attached, jetpack, belts, and other accessories from my older costume that I've not actually finished... Which leads to my question, where would you all suggest I go to locate at least the jumpsuit? He's not looking at trooping (at least not yet) but wants to at least have the jumpsuit heading in the right direction and at least get some gloves that are close. Time is of course an issue since we're just shy of a week away from the day.

it's important to consult with riggers and experienced camera flyers who can offer specialized knowledge and insights specific to skydiving. Their expertise and firsthand experience will be invaluable in understanding the benefits and drawbacks of using specific helmet camera setups for skydiving purposes. It's great that you are considering safety and seeking evaluations from experts in the field. The recommendation in the Skydiver's Information Manual to have the camera platform evaluated by a rigger and an experienced camera flyer is essential for ensuring the equipment's safety and suitability for your intended purpose. Riggers can assess the design and construction of the helmet and camera housing to determine if it meets safety standards and minimizes potential snag hazards. They can provide guidance on proper installation and ensure that it doesn't compromise the helmet's structural integrity. Experienced camera flyers can offer insights into the functionality, ergonomics, and potential limitations of different helmet camera setups. They can share their experiences with specific models, discuss the image quality, ease of use, and any potential issues they have encountered while skydiving with similar equipment. Engaging in conversations with riggers and experienced camera flyers, either in person or through skydiving forums or communities, will help you gather valuable firsthand experiences and advice. They can help you make an informed decision about the helmet camera setup that best suits your needs and maintains safety as a top priority. Remember to adhere to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer, seek professional evaluations, and always prioritize safety when considering any modifications to your skydiving gear.

I'm thinking of buying a new sewing machine soon and it is so overwhelming. I'm leaning toward Singer or Janome but really don't want to spend more than $400. I'll be using it mostly for fleece stuff. I'm fairly new to sewing and have just been borrowing a friend's super old machine that skips stitches a lot. Pretty sure I want an automatic threading/bobbin set up and a walking foot (I read that makes sewing fleece easier??) What does everyone out there use? Do you like it or is there something you hate? Thanks for any help!
