good news, bad news

I went to see my neurosurgeon again yesterday....
The good news? The fusion is taking, there's a bunch of new bone growth, I'm healing really well, I can do just about whatever I want as long as I keep working out (well, he doesn't want me jumping my mtn. bike over logs just yet... but cruising trails is okay!).
The bad news? He advised that I wait until I see him again in JANUARY before throwing my body out of an airplane. Good thing I didn't tell him about last week, huh? Am I gonna listen? Probably not. But I will choose my gear carefully (i.e. big slow opening easy landing Spectre), be pretty picky about when I jump (i.e. perfect wind conditions), and only do a couple a month - just enough to stay kinda current.
Oh speaking of last week - I got a couple of stills from the jump. Tried to scan them last night but ran out of patience before I got it figured out (new puter, old scanner); trying again tonight, then I'll post 'em on my website for y'all to see.

So, when we gonna do that "bandit" jump?? I'm gettin' airborne this Saturday after only one jump between June 3rd and now. And that was a CReW jump before rolling in the grass on the 9th. BTW, I'd wear my dz.com tshirt but it has already faded after three washes.

Everyone at work is telling me I probably ought to listen to the doctor... and damn near everyone at work is a skydiver... so I haven't really decided when I'm gonna jump again! Don't worry Mark, I'll announce it - you're more than welcome if you're sure you can avoid the rust plates flying off me.

Hey Lisa
If your doc is a skydiver then you should listen to him. However if he's not he most likely has no idea as to the physical aspects of skydiving. So screw him. If you feel good jump. The only part of jumping that has bothered my back is packing. so get someone to pack for you and go have so fun.
Some fun eh!
