DOOOOOORRRR!!!!

It's been 7 months since the accident; 6 months since the surgery. I saw my ortho doc today and he gave me the green light! I can start jumping again! YEEEESSSSS!!! :) I have been working VERY hard to get my muscle back on my "mini leg." Thanks to my physical therapists and my personal trainer, my leg is up to 80%. Even though I've been cleared for jumping, I'm still going to work to get to 100%.

Now getting the gear ready is another story. I have an Infinity container that holds a 135 main (no room for upsizing) and an Optimum 143. I have a Javalin container that holds a 150 both main and reserve. I don't have a reserve or a main for it yet. I have an AAD for it, ready to be installed. I'll work out the equipment gaps within the next two weeks. I can't go jumping this coming weekend anyway (Mom is in town) but the weekend after is my goal to start jumping again. Hopefully I'll get everything together in time and the weather will cooperate.

To everyone out there struggling with injury, I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. Put your hard work in- it will pay off!!
