One thing for certain none of us will get out alive. The trick is to minimize risks while maximizing life while we have it.
DiverG following your doctor's orders to the n'th degree and giving yourself the best chance to heal totally is your best bet. Tehn see a dive doctor for the final word on continuing to dive. I do suggest that you are careful on selecting the Dive Doctor. Make sure it is someone who also loves to dive. My experience is that there are some "Dive doctors" out there who basically do the paperwork so they have another income stream from doing "Dive Medicals". If that is their motivation they seem to be more inclined to "Just say NO" to reduce perceived risks of litigation since nobody can guarantee that any given diver will never have ab incident while diving
Best of luck to be abel to continuethis wonderful sport.. :doh: not so big a fan of motorbikes but your life.. LIVE IT YOUR WAY!
Finding a Dive Dr that loves to dive, sounds like very good advice.
