She was my best friend, and I still miss her.

I'll be there from February 2-10. Probably not diving at all. Not even bringing my dive gear. :(

Peter, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Yes, I can still dive. I got a call from the doctors office telling me he wanted to see me. I thought for sure that meant my diving days were done as he had told me earlier that if I was good to dive he would tell me over the phone. Get there, and he tells me there are some things that I need...

The doctor has review the results of the scan. :D :beerchug:

If I was confident that United would get me to Cozumel direct for $450 I might have waited. I used to be loyal yo Continental since they had the best deals for me on direct flights. Since the merger and probably before that they have gone downhill for me.

Well, I went to see a diving medicine doctor yesterday. The doctor wants me to get a chest ct scan done, and if that is good I'll be good to dive. Scheduled for the CT next Saturday, but hoping to be able to squeeze it in sooner. Wish me luck on the results.

Sallye, how was the presentation?

The trip is booked. February 5 to February 15. Flying into Cancun and doing the bag drag. Arrive at noon on a Friday, and hoping customs isn't to bad.

Don, the times are good. I would arrive in Cancun at noon. Yes those dates should fall during Carnival as Fat Tuesday is February 9, 2016. Do the ferries always get closed in a good Norte?

It has been a few years since I've kept track of airfares to Cozumel. Right now the flight to Cozumel on February 6 returning on February 13 shows over a $1,000. I know that price will eventually come down but how much I do not know. Right now I could book Southwest Airlnes from Houston to...

I'm bumping an old thread with an update. I previously stated that the lung had been punctured, but that seems not to be the case. I stopped by the hospital today to get some of the medical reports from the accident. The assessment from my initial emergency room admittance states: Blunt Chest...

I haven't been on the boards in a good while. For those of you that remember me, I had a motorcycle accident in November 2013 with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. I also thought the lung had been punctured. I asked some questions about would I still be able to dive after a punctured lung...

I don't know, the last one I went on didn't end up to good for me. :) Seriously, to far in advance for me to commit, but we'll see.

So we are about 5 1/2 months out since my accident. Everything seems to be fine breathing wise. I still feel twinges of light pain when I sneeze, but it is at the bottom of the rib cage. The doctor told me my broken rib was an upper rib. Is it normal to still feel a little bit of pain at this point?

Thanks TSM. The consulting doctor did tell me that the lung was definitely punctured, but I should be ok for diving. Need to wait at least 3 months. Still should I have any thing specific checked out before I return to diving? I/E catscan chest xrays etc?

Thanks.

Flots, I'm not really stressing over this at the moment. I've done very little diving as it is in the past few years. At the moment seeing the VA doctor is totally unrelated to this incident, but obviously will use them for what I can. If the worse happens, I'll survive and move on.

I posted about a motorcycle accident I had on November 6 in the basic scuba forum. The accident involved at least 1 broken rib with multiple fractures and possibly some other fractured ribs. I've heard different things about that. I was told the rib punctured the lung, and according to the...

Thanks folks. I'm supposed to do a follow up with the admitting doctor tomorrow, but not sure if its going to happen. I'm also suppose to see a new primary doctor tomorrow with the Veterans Administration Medical Centers. I didn't get a good vibe with the new doctor a couple of weeks ago, but I...
