Tami got her wings back in the wind

[carbonezone 0]

Hey!!!!
Dont get to post to much since we dont have PHONE LINES YET (except when I sneak on at work)!!!!
To make a long story short (since i am at work), I have been grounded since memorial day weekend (2 months) due to a shoulder injury (popped out of socket). Two freaken months man . Doc says I need surgery.
1. Been doing lots of exersizes to strengthen it up. And ordered a shoulder Brace.
2. Last Thursday, did a tandem(thanks Kevin K I love You)...."yes a tandem" to make sure the shoulder held up to the wind resistance in freefall and able to control canopy.
3. Yeah Baby.....freefall felt great. Canopy control somewhat painful but "I am women...I am strong...I can take it.....ROAR"
4. Requested Rigger (thanks Mike) to move BOC to left side. He also juiced up my shoulder brace with some additional supports.
5. Walked around doing practice handle touches (left side) for DAYS.
6. Got geared up and went for a Skydive with my Hubby. With Scotty right by my side. Did about 6 wave offs and handle touches (left side). Tami gives thumbs up to Scotty "means feels great", and then Scotty comes in for the sweetest, long kiss pass ever and mouths "welcome back".
7. Tami turns, tracks, waves off....and PULLS (left side)....yea thats right it's a first!!!!
WOW....I just had to share it with you all 4.5 years in the sport with close to 1000 jumps, this was the longest I have had to sit out.
Be assured that I have made sure I can get to every handle and safety was my number one priority before getting back in the air.
ALL IN TIME FOR THE BIG WAYS HERE AND FOR THE CONVENTION!!!!!

Right on Tami! Be careful with that shoulder, mine kept dislocating and I ended up having 3 surgeries on it in the last 2.5 years (last one was in February). What are you jumping for a main? If it's something squirrelly, you might want to swap it out for something bigger/more stable in case you have to steer with 1 hand. I'm in a position where a dislocation pretty much means a reserve ride.

Long time no see, but it sounds like you're having fun. Blue skies,
