If you are a med student, I assume you have taken basic physiology by now. If so, you should be able to answer your own ?. With higher altitude, the oxygen levels decrease, you will become gradually more hypoxic, especially if on an aircraft with a slow ascent rate extending your time at altitude. And the sudden descent does affect your ears and sinuses but most people clear this quickly. Did you also think that maybe with 6 jumps your heart rate may go up because you are nervous/excited/stressed?? My heart rate is always up before a jump. And no, you don't have to be healthy to jump - hang around the DZ for awhile, you will see some overweight, out of shape, smoking, heavy drinking people who are awesome skydivers.

I did my first 6 years ago at age 51 - it was my daughter's 18th birthday, and I decided to do "one jump" to prove to her the old man could do it too. Scared the crap out of me at the door, and as a bad tandem student, I grabbed the door frame to turn and say "NOOOOOOOO", then we were out. I hit the ground and said "where do I sign up for lessons" I went home, told my girlfriend (now wife), and she said if I could do it, she could. She will hit her 500th soon.

Holy shit, Skootz - that puts a whole new perspective on it. Kind of like listening to you and Clay when you share our trailer at the DZ. Now, back to MSNBC, but I will watch with my eyes shut "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

It seems every freeking time I try to watch the Olympics, the networks have some dorks sliding over the ice with some stone thing followed by some dudes sweeping the ice for no apparent reason, and it goes on and on!! Is it just me, or does anybody else think the curling is over covered in the olympic TV coverage?? "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Been there - done that. It sucks. Hang in there. Start thinking about assisted living or adult family homes if things progress. They can be lifesavers. PM me if you need more info. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

+1 I had a friend recently go through AFF-I, 1200 jumps, mostly free fly - he made it, but struggled. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Z Hills is probably more active during the week, Sebastian can be little slow. But on weekends, Sebastian is busy, and awesome scenery over the coast and inland waterway. You can see all the way to Cape Canaveral and beyond. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

You should have heard the ER version we did a couple of years ago. It was hilarious to those of us who worked in the ER, but the spouses kind of went "HUH, gross, poor taste" and comments like that "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Hey, how hard is it to open a damn door or two? There's a hell of a payoff for being nice to them, ya know. Well said, John. I am a little old fashioned, but I love making my honey feel like the special lady that she is. You and V look great. And that's all I got to say about that Merry Christmas, Doc "We saved your gear.
