Yes it is true,I was that diver.The facts may have been a bit stretched,but I did not know how bad it was until this morning.When I awoke the pain that was in my shoulders and left knee the day before were gone,it was only seconds before I knew they were not truly gone but had moved to a different appendage.The pain was almost unbearable,as I raised the sheets to see,There was no doubt I was bent.At a 20 degree bend to the left there it was.Jim was not there to help me as he was the day before,So I let mother nature take her course and when I went to the bathroom to relieve myself (take a piss) I was cured.She held no ill feelings toward me for poking the sharks as they got to close eating the fish that the fishermen had left there.And at my age I still get bent every morning,which shows what great shape I'm in.:) JT At 10:32 AM 10/18/98 -0400, you wrote: >Fellow Divers- > >On the Miss Lindsey yesterday I am sorry to report an bent diver. >Following a 80min profile on the Chinago the victim then dove on the >Powell for another extreme dive.
