Ok, so I screwed up a little bit. Two weeks ago, I dislocated my elbow on a tandem landing. I did it to prevent my student from being injured. My student walked away injury-free, while I was taken to the ER, put under sedation, and it was popped back in. Each day my elbow gets better and better. I still can't jump, but I'll be back in the game in no time.
Brandon and I went to The Deadman's Boogie at Skydive Temple over the Labor Day weekend. Because I couldn't jump, I sold necklaces instead. I met a lot of great people (Hi Roger, Fanny, and Ryan!) along the way too. Sure I was bummed because I couldn't jump, especially because I missed opportunities to jump with new people, and jump out of an Otter (I've been jumping Cessna 182s for a year now). But I don't regret my decision and I know that this setback does not make me a bad instructor. I look forward to my next skydive (probably a hop and pop), which will probably be in about 3 or 4 weeks. Blue skies everybody- and stay safe!
