mmmmm.......i think i remember you from long ago .... use to hang out and do tandems --- think i may have made you drool a time or two as well - when ya going to come out and play aaron? in all seriousness......dave you do a great job even if you are underappreciated. hopefully jumping with you for muttley's 200th won't be the last we fun jump with you for the season ---- DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

It allows me to not think about the stressors at home....believe it or not I just get relaxed...that and I get to hang out with my dz family. I am closer to some of my dz family than some of my regular family --- what can i say, i am dysfuntional at best - DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

Interesting. When I tore my ACL, my therapist recommended I NOT wear a brace when returning to sports. He stated my grafted ACL is now stronger than a natural one. I did the cavader router, the hamstring one might be different. He said I could use a brace if I wanted the security but that by not using one I would only strengthen my ACL even more. Mine was specified from the orthopedic surgeon.....guess it depends on the ortho guy. I think the concern was not only the acl which was replaced by a cadaver graft but the mcl and the meniscus as well. Interesting the different theories about it though.......of course I think the ortho guy new I would be back before the 6 month mark as well so figured he would protect his handy work.

That will stop you? Really, that is all it takes to stop you?? I always thought you could do just about anything stupid and crazy with family around and they had to forgive you..... Scott C. the brothers are one thing....the dad is a totally different thing ---like skootz says "I am prim and proper...sweet and innocent."

I heard rumor that the old landing area was back....or will be landing in the same place as last year? anyone know...just curious ---- doc and i will be there regardless. DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

you guyz are so crazy...yest i will be there but have to be on my best behavior as my family will be there ----- DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

ACL will come in time......they will probably end up wanting to do a cadaver graft --- that is what they did on me....that way your not taking from your quads or your hamstrings....regardless it will be a full year before the graft is healed completely...but they say you can start partaking sports again after 6 months. PT every day even when not in PT --- I think I was going at about 3 hours a day even on days I didn't see the therapist. Then you will also get this really cool brace that you will get to wear for at least a year when you are back at things.....changes your flying dynamic just a bit - I also took out the MCL and Lat meniscus -- it is a weird sensation when you tib/fib slide one way and your femur slides the opposite direction. Keep hanging in there! --- beware of toilets --- and remember to keep your spirits up. Of anyone I know who can get through this with a positive attitude it would be you ---- DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

sounds like you are doing the right things....just may take some time. you can always see if the doc will kick up the anti-inflammatory.....see what they like to use...we all have different preferences and long term use can cause problems with the kidneys. honestly ibuprofen is a lousy anti-inflammatory unless you take it around the clock and in high doses....that is just my opinion of course. keep working at it...knee's are tough and tough to rehab....my PT said I will have to do therapy forever to keep the function of my knee where i need it to be to jump....so it is exercise and ice frequently. low impact stuff is great...recumbant bicycling and pool therapy are a god send....avoid high impact stuff like walking and jogging....your PT will guide you in the right direction. I myself had a love hate thing with mine....got back to the sport early because he taught me what i needed to do to get back....but he was fricken brutal during therapy. It is truly like they say...no pain...no gain.

hope that you have a fabulous day! DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

well...why you are waking up to coffee i am enjoying a glass of wine before nighty nite. ...... it just seems so wrong doesn't it? Heck no.... It only means I get to Friday a bit sooner than you Enjoy the wine and I'll enjoy my coffee

cortisone will also weaken the ligament ---- definitely not something to do unless it is a last resort type of thing. Also there is the risk of introduing infection into the joint when you drain a joint.....they usually have to have a pretty large effusion present for me to stick a needle in there.....but then again i work in the er and it is different in an orthopedic office (less germs for one) make sure you are taking care of your knee in between....icing 4 x a day for 20 minutes (you can increase the frequency but not the length of time)....keep it wrapped - elevate. Soft tissue injuries take a longer period of time to heal than bone does. Some soft tissue injuries can take up to 6 months to heal....of course that is what is recommended if you rupture a ligament or have surgical repair done. as for my experience....i actually ruptured a couple of the ligaments and had to have them repaired....surgery was not fun and the recovery was even less fun. you may be over doing it and keeping it inflamed because of that........lots of things to consider really and since you dont live here and I can't fly there right now it is difficult to diagnose over the internet ---- how soon was the mri after injury?????? are you taking any anti-inflammatories?

could be worse.....if you are ever out with an injury it seems like an eternity....was out for 3 months and it was never ending torment ------ now going a week isn't so bad.....of course we are a weekend only dropzone so it does give me something to look forward to. I love to torture livendive every chance i get.........

I personally have not jumped at Perris but have been down to Elsinore several times....it just depends on what you are looking for. Check out both places....they both have a different vibe, but both are top of the line...either way you won't go wrong. I would check them both out and see which is a better fit for you. Regardless....you will probably end up jumping at both if you are in that area.

I've never used a whip, only a paddle.

Hey, you got that right! Thank god it is topless tuesday and not bottomless wednesday. And Cindy, you are getting a butt whooping soon! all talk and no play makes doc a dull boy --- after that comment you may be sleeping with the dogs in the doghouse or out in the car DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

oh sweetie.........we all love turtle because he misbehaves, but we all also know not to poke mama or she will smack you down. she has a bigger whip than i do - DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

i'd love for here to break out the whip --- although he would see it more as enjoyment vs punishment. DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

I went to LP broke last year (ACL/MCL/Meniscus) ---- you folks will find a way to make it fun --- I believe for me it was topless tuesday, lots of jello shots and nightly poker ------ I am sure the vicodin helped as well.

geez.....the hits just keep coming...but knowing you i know that this won't slow you down much. Many hugs my friend and hopefully you will continue to find inspiration. Are they going to do surgery to repair the ACL as well or will that be happening later?
