thanks so much!

Was this from awhile back or recently? Reason I ask is that Jenni had the surgery on April 29th, and the pain of recovery is there, but getting better every day. Will your pain eventually go away? She is off all pain killers, they made her sick to the stomach anyway, just has to lay down on her back every 3 to 4 hours or so. We are using the hot tub every day, being weightless and warm really helps. All of her muscles that were moved during surgery really ache. She also did not have pre-surgery trauma though, just pain from the 35 degree bend. Over all, she is in less pain now then before surgery. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

yes. we both hate the insurance system, but since medical expenses are the leading cause of personal bankruptcy, it is a must to have. and since we jump, dive, ride, and fly ultralights we have to have it. although the fact that our rates go up every year, it is getting close to the time of "self insuring." that is, take the funds paid to insurance and buy investment properties. our insurance has a 1 million lifetime pay out cap. so once we reach that, we need to move the money to growing investments, then, if needed, sell investments for medical care. risky, but the numbers can work. side note, interesting speech on medical costs right now by the president. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

was that from a bad landing? you teach BASE right? hows the pain now? gotta love that you married your rehab doc, so cool. we hope to be jumping and diving again after recovery. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

sorry, that was the "total" bill for the surgery, and 7 day stay at cedars sinai. surgical services were something like $80,000. we have a $3500 yearly deductable to keep our rates down. always figured we could handle $3500, but not a huge bill. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

....all fused up. Jenni, my wife, had the surgery 5+ weeks ago to fix a 35+ degree curve. this is the second surgery, she had her lower curve corrected at age 15. this surgery attached to the old fusion and went up to T4. all of the pain and numbness in her arms, legs, and back is gone! just recover pain now. doc says "give me 9 months, and then you can go do what ever you want."

Skydiving Tattoo. When should a person be allowed to have one?
squirrel replied to Pegandmeg's topic in The Bonfire
On that point, maybe I should get one, the wrinkled old green skin would at to my grumpy old man look, and keep those damn kids off my front lawn, when I'm 90. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? -
Holy fuck!!! how many jumps was that vanity item worth? ... I drive an $800 cavalier... yes, my cock is fucking ENORMOUS!!!! uh, actually... bought it out of a backyard, covered in trash. restored it. drove it. sold it....made a big profit. bought real estate which now makes money....which i guess pays for jumps. and yes, i drive an old beater. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i used to own a 1967 Shelby GT500. yes, a real one, number 0194 of 2049. did i need to pay the government to get attention? no. but thats just me. i like the idea of checking out and heading to the DZ, or that magical place in life. i... already have. i just don't need to pay to advertise it. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

..... Im one of those ones that can afford to pay cash for 5000 fucking skydives a year if i so desire... agreed, so can i. but i don't need or want the attention. i jump for us (my wife and i) and no one else. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

how bout...AMSOVAIN. or to shorten it...SOOVAIN or some modification of there of. no offense, but they dont call them vanity plates for no reason. and, dude, you could probably get a jump or 2 for the price of the palte every year. time for a priority check, or are you one one of those who likes to pay for attention? ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

hey I watched the draft as I played online poker... ya gots to multi-task.... don't know about anyone else but I fell in love with game playing it, until I ripped the side of my knee apart, saddest day of my life... knock on wood... couldn't even watch the game for years afterward .... I sort of agree with you, though .... about baseball, basketball and hockey ..... but NOT football GO CARDS !!!

i guess i just don't understand the understand the massive fascination with watching sports. now, i used to watch the 49ers when i was younger, but not to the insane degree that people do it today...fantasy teams, watching 3, maybe 4 games in a row, then even firing up the video system to play what....a football game. Its gotten out of hand. now, if someone said..."hey i LISTENED to the draft as I changed the oil, and did a tune up on the old truck (2 things that the young generation cant fathom)" I might be ok with it. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

no offense, but they had that crap on the TV on the Catalina express. Good thing I was dead tired from diving and feel asleep. But then again, i have am not much of a "watching" fan or person. just made it home and i have a jimmy buffet concert on the XM radio as I clean my dive gear....now this is something worth my ears. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

we are hoping for a good day. My wife's back surgery has been moved up, and after next weds.(operation day), she will be out of activities like this for 9 months or so. but pain free!

My wife and I will be diving at Catalina this Sat. Taking the 6:15 express out of Long Beach, and diving the Casino scuba park from the shore. Any jumpers feel like doing some bubble bubble? ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I once HAD to jump my SOs' rig, to prove a point. My SO "wife" was having problems landing her spectre 135...said, "somethings wrong, i cant get a good flair." I showed her the video of her landings...she was flaring more powerful on one side. But, she still insisted, "Nope, somethings wrong." As I landed, (jumping her rig) next to her, in my bare feet, I quietly said..."nothing wrong with this rig." "You ass!!" was all I heard. But, now she lands it great. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
