If it weren't for bad luck...

Well, it looks as if I won't be making it to Portage this year. I fell on June 21 and tore up my right knee. I had surgery on July 7 and now my leg is immobilized until the first of September. No diving for me this summer, dang it!

Bummer, you will be missed.

I am sorry to hear that.

I hope you get better quickly.

Sorry to here that...I am still debating on Portage....I want to come but the long drive is not something I look forward to.

Very sorry about your knee injury. Diving equipment may be a necessary tax deductible requirement for rehab.

My doctor says I might be able to get back in the water mid to late September to get in a few dives before cold weather. I'll have to take it easy and my Jet Fins will be to much. Anybody have any suggestions on some cheap, open heel fins that won't overstress my knee?

Churchill fins are still made. Not too much power, but these were used a lot in the old days. 'Really sorry to hear about the knee problem. 'Glad it was able to be fixed.

It's just a bump in the road.
I am still diving after two total knee replacements.
Rock on.

Time for a vintage scooter.

I can't believe I'm going to type this, much less think it, but have you tried a pair of split fins..I can't vouch for them cause I've never used them, but I hear they a easier on the joints and help with cramping. I'm thinking it might be an option for you while you're healing.

Good luck, you'll be back before you know it!
