d_squared431 0 #28 June 5, 2004 Sorry to hear you broke your ankle. Give it time to heal before getting back in the swing of things. There are a few perks to injuries though. You can get a temp handicap sticker for your car, you get to drive those fancy carts around the super market, and when you go out guys are right there to buy you a few drinks.

Casurf1978 0 #30 June 5, 2004 Hey Vanillia, Vibes out to you. I'm kindof in the same boat you are. I was gonna go to Bridge the gap, but ended up spending my friday night at the hospital due to some severe food poisoning. I dont feel that well either so no jumping this weekend. My landings also SUCK. Ever since I busted my arm, I'm having some issues. I'll take the Canopy Course at Elsi this month though. Vibes out to you and hope you feel better.

skycat 0 #32 June 6, 2004 Oh I'm so sorry sweety. *hugs* I know how you feel having broke my wrist day's before a big boogie and blowing out my knee at the beginning of another boogie. Just listen to your Dr. take your calcium, and don't rush the recovery.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuteless 1 #33 June 6, 2004 I joined the broken ankle club today as well. Hit the Missouri ground quite hard, broke the left ankle, and did a number on the vertebrae. The left ankle is quite swollen, but I have a good Missouri nurse takling care of me. Bill Cole D-41 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #35 June 6, 2004 Rosa: Why'd you go and do that? Great ankles are a rarity in this world, and it would be a shame to mess yours up. anyway, be glad it was only a break. I've known folks (yours truly) who have messed up ligaments in the ankle. Even less cool. Good vibes to you, kid. Do exactly what the doctor says, and ask for skybytch's permission prior to jumping. She'll tell when it's not safe. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #37 June 6, 2004 Friends, thank you so very much for all the loving PMs and awesome posts. You have no idea what this means to me. I am really down and feel so alone right now...plus I haven't taken anything for pain since the hospital. I just found the advil on the floor. It fell out of my bag last night when I hobbled in. Also, I haven't anything to eat or drink because I was bored all day and was falling in and out of sleep, so I am ordering pizza and drinks right now. Thanks for offering help, everyone. I love you, guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nbblood 0 #38 June 6, 2004 QuoteThings always happen for a reason, right? Something amazing must be on the horizon for me to balance this out, right? Things always seem to work out for the best...eventually, when I stay positive. I just have to give it some time. It's really hard to stay positive, right now. That's the spirit. You'll be ok. I know there's an awful lot of people on here that have leaned on your shoulder, don't be afraid to lean back. Keep us posted on how it's going. Oh, by the way, I too have a high tolerance for pain. I finished a football game with a broken bone in my hand. Then later cut a cast off because I was too competitive. Then, another incident, in the army I broke my elbow and cut the cast off a week and a half later to take an important PT test. Neither of these turned out well in the long run. So, before you start thinking about it......DON'T!! 2-3 more weeks at the end is not that big of a deal. Just my words of experience for ya! Anyway, keep smiling, keep us posted. From what I know about you, you'll find something incredibly constructive to spend your time on. Blues, NathanBlues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

We have seen and heard of our friends going through much worse trauma. Try and keep it is perspectice Rosa and the time will pass. Yes, you're right. I'm trying very hard to keep things in perspective...so many people have had such serious injuries that I shouldn't even complain, right? I'm so sorry, everyone, but this has been very hard for me...harder, lonelier, and more miserable than I thought that it would be. I can't even really sleep due to pain and discomfort. I promise to try to complain less and to do something constructive while I am not jumping. Thank you for the posts, everyone. I really, really, really am needing them, and I thank you all so much for the love and support. Love you all...

I`m sure you`ll have fun, fun, fun... You`ll see. Since the age of 6 I`ve had many injuries (I was a very hyperactive kid, and also practiced gymnastics for a couple of years).

Believe it or not; ankle injuries are somewhat common until until your body gets used to landing. I landed in a ditch at Gold Coast several years back and ended up with purple foot. The crutches were the worst part.
