Ahhhh, so that's how you get a foot treatment without the other half complaining! Laughing

Yes, yes it is. To get a foot treatment with no complaints, you must exit a plane at 2.65 miles above ground then don't flare and drop like a rock from 15 feet in the air going 25mph. Very Happy

On the other hand, you could tell your other half that your friend spent $279 for a jump course and jump, so far at about $150 in doctor copays and medications, gosh only knows what physical therapy will cost, and her hubby allowed her to go to the Esthetics school for a $15 foot treatment with no argument. Tell him you are gonna SAVE him the other $429 plus physical therapy and you just want the foot treatment. Laughing

Granny MoMo :

Don't downplay your pain. Trust me, I've seen patients who have had serious injuries but brushed it off, trying to be tough or thinking it wasn't that bad. If you have pain, that is your body's way of telling you, "Something isn't right!" Be a good patient and do your therapy!! Razz

I'm being as good a patient as I can. It's hard to explain but I just don't feel the pain like other people do. I know there's pain because I can't walk... the legs won't do what I want them to do... but it only actually hurts if I push it. Right now my legs will do more than they did at first and the fact that I feel better now makes me realize that it hurt more to begin with.

Maybe it's because of my high pain tolerance that I push my limits. A hard skydiving landing certainly isn't the worst injury I've sustained, only the most notable since most people don't do it. Wink

My mother used to joke that they had my picture in the doctor's lounge at the hospital... they knew me by first name as soon as I walked in the door (remember Tim the Toolman Taylor? That was me.) and always said, "What is it today Jennifer?" I felt like I should have a frequent injury card... 10 xrays and the 11th is free. The funny part is that when I got my concussion from playing mini-golf (YES MINI GOLF), I went to the hospital and the doctor (different state) took one look at me and asked, "Do I know you?" My sister burst into laughter.
