Local Diving or Not

[MikeS]

In case anyone is interested, my surgery went quite well.  I walk mostly with just a cane right now, but can walk without it, but still with a limp.  I won't see the  surgeon until early July, and hope to dive with his permission soon after that, although I suspect he might tell me to wait until a full three months after the surgery, which would mean mid August.  It seems to me that bearing the weight at the surface and perhaps getting one of my fins on will be my biggest challenges, so with a little help, it shouldn't be too long.  Of course, climbing up on a boat or difficult shore accesses would also make things difficult. Anyway, I will be careful, but certainly miss the diving.  Oh, and I took the opportunity to send my drysuit  in for new seals as long as they not only needed it, and I have the time to wait for its return. 

Later,

Mike
