Mike Ponders on Skydiving After His Latest Surgery
So, as I sit here recovering from yet another surgery, in pain, my head swelling from
the incisions made by the surgeons, my hip ripping (or so it feels) from where the cut to
get the bone marrow was performed; as I sit here staring at the cover of the latest
Parachutist magazine I have to wonder if I love skydiving that much.
I sit here, my mind wandering slightly, slipping off into the regions only known by
cobwebs, places which I dare not roam or consider, for I may come up with answers I'm too
afraid of knowing.
Can anyone imagine putting themself thru so much pain to skydive? Certainly not
voluntarily. For the love of skydiving would be so great if everyone did. But then again,
perhaps skydiving is the answer to all of our pains. Perhaps, in someway, we all are
experiencing some pain with which skydiving provides a tremendous relief.
