Greetings from Heidelberg! I've been in Germany for over a week. I'm still running hard and surviving. I unexpectedly had some free days here and I've stolen up to Heidelberg to see my skydiving buddy, Dr. Jochen Feil. You may have seen in some other threads (Activ-L patient organizes skydiving record!) that he has over 2000 skydives. If things go as planned, I'll come back this way on Sunday and we'll hit the wind tunnel with him. I can't wait to get my knees in the breeze. Not sure yet when I'm coming home. There's so much more I'd like to write about but it's going to have to wait. It's 3am and I've been driving for hours. Just driving in at night, it seems very cool here. The hotel is on a tiny road with very old buildings, just steps away from the river. I'll write more when I can.
All the best, Mark

Bad news... good news...
The wind tunnel is completely booked on Sunday! I'm so sorry that I won't be able to do this with Dr. Feil. However, today I drove to Maastricht, Netherlands to see Dr. Zeegers. On the way, I swung by Bottrop to check out the tunnel. It is the most sophisticated indoor skydiving operation in the world!

Mark,
Sorry you won't be doing the wind tunnel but it seems the spinal extension I see in pictures of skydivers jumping or in wind tunnels would aggravate facets big time.

Jim, you missed it...
I did make it to the tunnel, just without Dr. Feil! That is me in the video! "ROM test" is my NECK - range of motion. YouTube - Indoor-Skydive-ROM-Test1.mpg
