mr_music11 0 #1 January 14, 2009 Ok.. so... in advance, thank you for reading... thank you again if you actually respond... for I am venting here and just need the companionship of that community which understands.... with that said... Damn it!! I have grounded myself for medical reasons. No details.. just that it's better right now that I dont jump. But boy howdeee was that a tuff decision. Early in the skydiving career.. still WAYYYYYY juiced about getting deeper into the sport... but safety has and always will be a priority in my life, including my skydive life. And with the issues at hand.. I need to make sure that ALL is well, before I put my life at risk in ways that Im not ready for. After all.. better to have loved (skydived ) and lost than to never have loved (skydived ) at all. With that said... I am soooooooooooooo waiting, wishing, hoping/praying... that I will soon be able to return to those blue skies which seem to call me everyday. Thank you for your thoughts, concerns and prayers (as I can use all those that I can get) Until then my fellow friends.. live life to its fullest! blue skiesIf flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat. I know why birds sing.. I skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #4 January 14, 2009 QuoteI have grounded myself for medical reasons. No details.. just that it's better right now that I dont jump. So that means life is more important than jumping. And that means you're smart. Best of luck, and I hope whatever it is heals/is fixed/goes away so that you can jump again someday (soon)."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
