now about snowboarding and wakeboarding?

what a weekend! i just got back from the boogie. no, i didn't end up jumping, and i missed out on a lot of very cool jump opportunities to let my ankle heal. i'm a good girl:) i met sooo many new people and hung out with old friends as well. brought a bunch of OU skydivers for their first and second jumps. met bill cole and got to talk with him lots about his very cool experiences. jim and lee are awesome for making dinner for EVERYONE on saturday night. it was soo good. bad weather had us at a movie yesterday and drinking early. we did escape the tornadoes passing through last night though! i took over 200 pics and will post the link soon! i had a really really fun weekend despite no jumping. i wouldnt trade my weekend for anything. i really value the friendships made and kept! oh, and paige's new car is the bomb, it has head light sprayers! i love SGC and all the people there this weekend. one of the funnest boggies ever! cant wait to go back again soon. and hopefully the non sgc jumpers and all of us can get together again soon this summer for an sgc memorial day boogie reunion! how's that sound?

im leaving now!! see you all there! have safe travles:)

i SUCK at pacing, it can take me up to over an hour to pack for a weekend. i have been packing for the boogie for about 30 minutes now and nothing in the bag yet! shit, i gotta do this. i always over pack too. ok im going now ok bye

so, then ankle swelling is all down now for the most part. the brusing has severely gone down as well. i cant walk without a limp if i dont have my brace on. but with the brace i can walk, run, and go up and down stairs. who thinks it would be OK for me to do a few jumps this weekend? i even considered sliding it in on my ass to save the foot. i know the sky will laways be there, but if tehres a chance, i want to do my pre second raft jump this weekend at the SGC boogie! attached are a few pics of the progression i have made throughout the week. the most recent pic if "frimorn". tell me what you all think i should do this weekend please.

i would if i was in cali.......oh, i wish i was in cali! hope you find a roomie OK. it will work out for ya, who wouldnt want to share a room with rosa if they had the chance?

i got a surprise for ya!

hey phree and wingi! my POS sprint phone is out... again. no outgoing or incoming calls for the past couple days. should have a replacement next week sometime. thanks for the tap guys:) i should be there in the morning tomorrow with it. how will i keep it cold?

yeah, but it's $50... and i dont have the cash to front that. i know someone has to have one or can somehow get it from wingnut in columbus. i know a few people are coming down friday evening from columbus and could pick it up from him and bring it with them. shit, i dont know what to do.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh! i still need a tap, does ANYONE know what i can do to get a tap to use for tomorrow night? wingi, phree, sunny, paige? someone, anyone?

sorry to bring it back... but, doesn't my ankle look soooooo much better? i do! it doesnt hurt to walk on it with my brace on and the brusing is slowly fading. the top of my foot isnt that swollen either.

i dont get it

anyone know if there is a hose and spicket at the dz? there might be a surprise if there is!

jeagermister!

yes please:) more free beer for you!!

YES!!!!!! I still need a tap. if anyone can please bring one for friday night. we desperately need one now. we have money for the keg, just NO tap. anyone please tell me you can bring one for friday night!

shit, i was just laughing out loud! thanks for that vern. i love my kankle, now leave me alone! andrea, i start PT tomorrow. it feels so much better now!

really? the doc at the ER told me to try walking on it while i was there and if it hurt too much then i could have crutches. i opted for no crutches. ao i've been putting weight on it and stuff, but i ice it when im not at class and elevate it as much as possible. he also gave me exercises to do that say to lean on a wall for support with my back then do toe raises and heel raises. i can put more weight on it today than yesterday.

sounds sooo tempting! attached is a before and after pic from last night and right now... doesn't it look better? also a pic of the inside of my ankle, now its bruised too. hows that work? im able to walk around a bit faster now. the brace helps a lot and so does the vicodin!! *edit... the top of my foot is swollen because i was just passing out flyers for the skydiving club for 2 hours standing up!

thanks again for all the "vibes" people:) i just got to class and had my first ride in the "cat cab"... they take gimps like me to class! i guess i failed to mention that i was taken to the ER after the landing by my friend kevin and the doc xrayed it and told me it was a sprain. hopefully it will heal fast! i have been putting weight on it and the swelling is decreasing. brusing is getting worse, but i think thats normal. thanks sunny for calling me this morning. good to hear a cheerful voice in the AM!

im still wondering too. is it just us? or does that search function not work?

i have a splint thing on it. i am wobblong around on it. i have no other way to get around. i opted for no crutches. im doing all i can though to heal fast.

heres a few pics i just took. think i'll be jumping this weekend? ankle3 is the outside part of my left ankle and its giving me the most pain.

congrats michele!!!!! yay for 100:)

0:4:2 4 FF jumps. All really fun and good. beer owed for jumping my new freak n suit for the first time. and beer owed for my first skydiving related injury. see this thread for details: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1087334;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread i also met a REALLY cool guy named JC from zhills. he was helping packing cathy out for the weekend at aerohio. its so nice to talk with experienced jumpers that are so into what they do and shine new light on the sport for me. hes a really cool guy. thanks for your words and knowledge:) hope i can jump this weekend at the SGC boogie. if my ankle isnt purple anymore. it was good to be back in the air after 6 weeks of not jumping because of shitty weather and too mych school work!
