One year ago today....

[Muenkel 0]

My life changed in a split second due to my injury I've discussed many times here.

Early this past Saturday morning (around 4:00am) I was rushed to the ER due to severe pain in my head. I lost consciousness several times and my blood pressure was about 196/130. It's normally about 115/75. After about 7 injections of morphine and various other drugs, the pain finally subsided. Fortunately my CT Scan and blood work was normal.

So it's been a rough year. I think it's the rough ones that make you stronger. I have a ways to go, but I'm determined to come out of this a better, stronger man.

Anyway, thanks for the many, many well wishes I received this past year. I try to return those well wishes whenever I can.

Stay healthy and safe everyone,

Chris, I know this has been a trying year for you...but look at where you were last year this time and how far you have come in your recovery....

I have no doubt you will make a full recovery and join us in the sky again, someday.

Sorry about the episode with your headaches.
Hope you are feeling better.

HANG in there!!

Dude, you're on the way to being a "real" skydiver by being a little off in the head. Love you man. Even if i suck at responding to PMs, you know you're special to me. BTW, i did try calling you from rantoul, but it wouldn't go through. Did you change your cell number?

Hi Chris,
Flash forward to one year from today, and your post will read:

AFTER A TWO YEAR LAYOFF DUE TO MY INJURY, I FINALLY GOT TO JUMP AGAIN. IT FELT GREAT TO BE BACK IN THE SKY.

I look forward to reading that post.

In the meantime, hope you're feeling better now. You're in my prayers for a quick and complete recovery.

No, it's just that I live in an area where there is no signal. You should have gotten my voice mail though. My home number works better. I'm overdue for a Sunshine serenade!
Thanks peepsters. Like I said to JRock, I'll have a decision to make in about a year. My hope is that I decide to get back in the sky.

Come to think of it, I haven't sung to you in a while. What is your request?

A tiny bit offtopic, but for me today marks one year since my friend was killed in a hit and run while visiting my home town. It totally ripped through our group of friends, and long story short, his death inspired me to do things id only ever imagined...like skydiving. Now i cant imagine my life without it, so thanks Ant
I just wanted to show that some pretty amazing things can come out of tragedy.
