gale 0 #1 June 2, 2002 Well, some of you might remeber a couple of threads I started a while back because I was all upset about a badly sprained ankle. Yup, after 6 and a half weeks of physiotherapy it still hurts everyday. My biggest fear was that I would just never jump again because I was just too afraid.But none of that matters because I did two dives this weekend and passed PFF level three (180 turns) !!!!! I'm so happy. I was very, very scared when it came to the flare so my instructor helped my on my first one, but I did the second one on my own. It's so good to know I can do it! My last dive was pretty much perfect, my box position was beautiful.Yup, it's all good baby. Two more dives and I'll be done PFF. Thanks to everyone that gave me encouraging words, and thanks to all the stories of others conquering their fears.I'm so happy! GaleIsn't life the strangest thing you've ever seen?
