Guest airsick Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I remember being not able to walk full stop for around five months when I was a kid and then being stuck on crutches for a further nine after that. I don't know what happened to you nor can I say I understand what you are going through but I can say I have great sympathy for what you are feeling at the moment. It is sort of like your first solo - not quite there but you can feel the freedom, you can touch it and you know you aren't far from having it for real. Good luck with it all and hope you are running around soon. Cheers, Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motzartmerv Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Good onya fellas.. Its never failed to amaze and inspire me the level of comradery that flying seems to envoke.. The world is divided in two, those who fly, and those who don't, but should.. Ive never had the crutches thing but ive had a few medical problems that kept me from flying, and the one thing that got me through (besides the love of a great woman) was the dream of flying again.. I sufferd from major depression after i had a heart incident...not a heart attack, just an electrical problem that caused my heart to squillion miles an hour..24/7 .. for a 29 year old it had a major impact on my life.. They had to use radio frequency abillation which is basically an angiogramm with another wire that finds the electrical distubance in your heart and burns it off.. pretty scary stuff but a common procedure.. medicine in this century is absolutly astounding.. The depression was the real problem.. not being able to function in even the most basic of day to day task's nearly brought me undone.. but alwqys there was th thought of flying again, and it kept me real, gave me a posative focal point and got me through i believe.. Good onya disperse for your post, the light at the end of the tunnel getting real close now mate (and its not a train)... cheers lads...;);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Good news Troy. I hadn't realised you were not able to walk, maybe I didn't follow your posts properly or maybe you didn't complain enough for me to notice. I still havn't got round to dropping in on Gary, every time I go to town I can't wait to get back to the bush. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Decca Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Congratulations Troy. I must admit I’ve rarely replied to one of your posts (ever?), but don’t let that concern you because I’ve always looked forward to the next gem of wisdom from the guy with the attitude that comes across so positive, and a sense of humor that’s truly infectious, for someone who was really down on his luck the day he went to lend someone else in need a hand. Anyway crutches are handy for checking fuel drains on Lockheed Constellations! Keep smiling Troy. We’re here for you if there’s any need to talk through the down times. Regards, Decca.

blueshed Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Iam with Ben, Decca, it is fantastic place to talk, share and grow our experiences. Not sure what your challenge is with being on stick,s, however as all have said, with a great attitude as your's is, you will be soaring! A littlestory, a few months ago a fella turned up here to do his BFR, in his Lightwing, his support crew turned up with his wheel chair. So he could get to the car to go and pick up his car and caravan, as he was moving in for a while to do bit of advanced training. Have flown with a few in the Lightwing's and for his challenges he handles his machine very well. (Caused originally from food posioning, was laid flat for 8 months on life support, lungs had collapsed.) Not trying to detract from your instance, just a little part of his story, sure he will tell it all one day! He might even get to the Echuca Flyin, will only take him about 7 hours, wind depending! You Can Do It! We Know You Can. God Bless Cheers Guy:hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
