- I'm *not* able to walk without a significant limp right now,
- and my ankle strength isnt't great. Anyone not involved in the sport
- (doctors, therapists, friends, etc) will (of course) advise me to
- wait before jumping again. However, these same folks would really
- recommend that I *never* jump again.

- I know what you're going through guy. I've been off for about 6
- months now and think I'm ready to go back. I was planning to start back
- and borrow a bigger canopy like a Manta for the first while about a
- month ago. But every time the ankle felt like it was back to normal the
- muscles started acting up again.
- I'm really glad now that I waited, the ankle feels pretty much normal
- again and I think I'm going to use my own rig when I go back,
