FREEFALL2112 0 #1 June 11, 2002 I am now recovering from neck surgery and am now unable to jump. My feet have been stuck to the stupid ground too long. Neck injury was from waterskiing. I was only in AFF 6 with skydiving, but already addicted to the sport. Anybody have any ideas for withdrawals from skydiving, I would appreciate your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 June 11, 2002 Just hang in there. I spent over a year on the ground due to back problems/surgery and, yes, it sucks. Keep your eye on the prize - getting better and getting back in the air - and you'll get there. Work the PT hard too - get that neck strong.Good luck! pull & flare,lisa"Try not. Do or do not.

freeflir29 0 #3 June 11, 2002 You can always go do some packing at the DZ. That will put you ahead of the game when you are ready to jump again and you will learn a lot just hanging around. "Here I come to save the BOOBIES!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #4 June 11, 2002 I know how you feel. I had emergency major surgery on Sat night and am couch bound for a while. I have no idea when I can jump again. One step at a time. AirAnn's Video Vault Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #5 June 11, 2002 I am also grounded for now. Injured a nerve in the wind tunnel at the BEGINNING of AFF!!! The most important thing is you heal and heal completely...don't rush it! Good advice here. Great time to visit DZ's, learn all you can, etc.[whispering so Skybytch doesn't hear]Plus you can always post whore.[/whispering so Skybytch doesn't hear]Feel better bro."JANE, HOW DO YOU STOP THIS CRAZY THING?"Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #6 June 11, 2002 Anybody have any ideas for withdrawals from skydivingGo to a certain well known shop search out some nice videos, depending on your taste, but anything by Patrick Passe, Norman Kent, or anything that involves freeflying would be cool, then phone Skybytch and place your order......Then you can mooch around the couch and watch jumping all day long.Oh, don't forget to stock up on the world team video .....CyaDGR# 37Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.
