JUMPING - ROUGH LANDING AFTERWARD

LMU, Tennessee

Okay, I forget I'm not 20 anymore and I actually injured myself jumping off this little ledge. I just landed weird on my right foot. I either bruised my heal or pulled a tendon or something and it hurts like the dickens and right now I have ice on it. If it is worse in the morning I'll go to the doctor. Jody knows a bunch of them since he works at the college with a lot of doctors. I don't think it is broken because I can still walk but with a limp and kind of on the side of it. Bruised pretty good on the inside. But, I'll be okay. For any of you over 50 don't try this at home! LOL! btw...I was actully in the air in this shot! What we do for photography!! I guarantee I won't be doing that again anytime soon!

Boy, I can relate to your story! Back in 1999 I was walking three miles a day and was getting in really good shape---meaning I was not wet with perspiration and dragging when I got home. So I had the brilliant idea that I would run-walk instead of just walking the 3 miles. Big mistake! I know what you mean about over 50. It was the first time my body betrayed me. I injured ligaments in both knees, the ACL, and didn't realize how badly. Here it is 8 years later and my knees have gotten worse and worse. Now arthritis is setting in and I can hardly walk very far. Guess I will need knee surgery eventually. Take care and be safe! I liken this shot to the song "I believe I can fly". Lol! Voted.

So, this is how you hurt both your achilles tendons, Cindi? Big Ouch!

I'm not sure I'm up for 'extreme' photography just yet! You know, pictures that would go in a gallery titled "images for which I suffered pain and injury!"

Oh my Cindi! Makes a wonderful portrait and story-lesson. Be well!!!

Lee Rudd		20-Jun-2008 22:08
there is a secret... you just have to have someone to catch you!

Being over 50 and having limped or walked with crutches since March 25th as a result of injuring my right ankle, I have much sympathy for you. Another thought that comes to mind is the redneck joke. You know, those famous last words- "Here, hold my beer and watch this sht." LOL Take care of yourself, girl!

One small step for man, one giant leap for my millions of Pbase fans..ouch! :o)

Cindi, you are unflagging in doing your crazy SPs!! Hope your foot will mend soon. I guess you are alone with this shot today, I'm not doing it anyway :)

Katie Chew		20-Jun-2008 14:57
Cindi, I hope it heals quickly.

Robin Reid		20-Jun-2008 14:49
Oh Cindi ... I hope it heals quickly.

Joanne Kamo		20-Jun-2008 14:44
I hope you recover quickly, Cindi! Great action shot!! V

Scott Browne		20-Jun-2008 14:06
Ouch! Sorry to hear about the injury. Don't kill yourself before the GTG in Ft Worth!

Guest		20-Jun-2008 13:37
Sorry to hear that, Cindi. Been there 6 weeks ago, starting to feel better. Get well! Art comes with a price ;-)

You have to come back to Florida... ...here we only jump into the water where the landings are more in tune with the forces of gravity. I hope your injury has healed by the time you read this.

Guest		20-Jun-2008 13:32
I was going to say... "Watch your head"... I am very sorry you injured your foot. Speedy recovery... and be safe!!!

Dick Lowthian		20-Jun-2008 13:26
....... but you got the shot! Bravo, Cindi. Seriously though, I hope your foot is OK and will be as good as new in a few days.

Guest		20-Jun-2008 13:02
Wow- sacrificing yourself for the photo! It's a fun shot, though- and I hope your foot is better soon.

Cindi doing her "Indiana Jones" impersonation jumping into the "hole" here. Rest up and get well.

Guest		20-Jun-2008 12:01
Now that is passion for photography... do be careful! Hope you heal soon... Jv

Guest		20-Jun-2008 10:17
I'm impressed with your spirit, Cindi. sorry about the injury though

Dan Chusid		20-Jun-2008 06:30
Wonder if you'll be pushing a walker by the time you reach San Diego. :^O

Ann...		20-Jun-2008 06:21
You do look very athletic!! Keep on with the ice and I hope you mend soon.

Dave Hein		20-Jun-2008 06:01
Yeah, they always say it's not the fall that hurts you, it's the landing. Or the sudden stop. Don't be doing that anymore!
