  1. Here's my story: Seven months back I started my AFF course. Level 1: Exit ok. Three practice touches. Pulled at 5500 ft. Two practice flares. But, when I was about to land flared a little too early, got scared and let go of the right hand side toggle a little bit more and landed on my right shoulder. It didn't hurt and I could move my shoulder normally, so I thought everything was fine. Level 2: Exit ok. Reached back for the first practice touch and dislocated the right shoulder. Tried again but couldn't reach. Tried to maintain as good an arch as possible. Lost altitude awareness. Instructor realized something was wrong and pulled for me (5500 ft). Still managed to fly the canopy and was able to land smoothly in a sitting position at half brakes (couldn't pull down further). Went to the emergency room and they reduced the shoulder (under an anesthetic). My question: Will I be able to skydive again? Just want to know if anybody had a should dislocation and were able to go back to skydiving. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Cheers!
