Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2007. Technology and culture referenced may have changed and I nearly certainly have. I may disagree now with what I wrote then, or it may refer to obsolete terms and tech. I will usually only edit old posts to refresh links that have changed.

Permanent Damage

I got a phone call from my physician on Wednesday in which he told me that the MRI I had indicated cartilage damage in the shoulder, and that I was going to be at risk of join instability pretty much forever.

Which does not bode well for my ability to jump.

I'm going to try, anyway. The first few jumps will be scary, because I don't know if I'll be able to land it, let alone drive home, so I'll make sure to have someone there with me, but I believe that the position in which I'd be at risk is one that I can avoid by careful flying.
