No Longer Lurking!

Hi, everyone!

I've been sort of stalking the dz.com forums for a little while now, but I never really got around to posting on the forums until just now.

My name is Nicole. I'm originally from the Philippines, but am now based in California. I'm a law student, party bartender and thrill seeker.

I'm a fairly new jumper... My home dz is Skydive Taft (Taft, CA). My addiction began with my first tandem on 28 February of this year, and I've got 66 jumps to date.

I fractured my femur a couple in September, so I've been out of the sport for a little while... I am definitely looking forward to getting back into it soon, though. I was cleared to fly the tunnel a couple of weeks ago, but it's just not the same thing... not to me, anyway.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. I hope to talk to you all more soon.

Welcome to the sport and the forums. How did you fracture your femur?

And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Thank you!

I fractured my femur on a bad landing on my last jump. The good news is that I went to the doctor today (I will be 12 weeks out on Saturday) and he says that the bone is 100% healed already. The initial projection was at least 16 weeks to heal, but I suppose I lucked out (kind of) and healed up a lot quicker than expected.

Thank you for the welcome!

I have already started going to the wind tunnel again, since I got cleared for it several weeks ago. I have been cleared to get back in the air (for real) as of today, but I think I am going to wait until it is a little less chilly to actually start jumping again.
