A personal milestone

RE: A personal milestone
(March 12, 2015 at 4:37 pm)Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote: At the time I joined AF nearly four years ago, I was a very active and accomplished recreational scuba diver. In that year, I reached the pinnacle of recreational scuba certification, earning my Master rating. A few short months after that, I suffered a serious health issue - a bilateral pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (not scuba related) that left me moderately disabled.

I struggled with the prospect of never being able to dive again due to my disability and ongoing health issues.

Today, thanks to the encouragement of an old friend and scuba instructor here in Puerto Vallarta, I got back in the water and did two very successful dives. Those few of you whom I have spoken with privately about my desire to go back in the water know how big of an accomplishment this is.

I still have a long ways to go to be back to my old self, and I may never get there, but today was a good day.

So that is what you've been up to in Mexico Big Grin

Congrats CD.
