Subject: [OM] [OT] Status of the helicopter pilot
| For those of you who've been following the saga of my son's road back to
| health following his September 1999 helicopter crash (wow, it really is
| coming up on two years):
|
| Two weeks ago he started flying again with the New York State Police as
| an "observer". This is not pilot or copilot even but a totally new
| position created (I think) just to accommodate him. He still suffers
| from random bouts of mild vertigo although they are dramatically less
| than immediately after the accident. The observer designation is a
| temporary thing to see how he actually fares with the vertigo while in
| the air. His therapy has been directed first at resolving the problem
| and second at teaching the brain to ignore that part that didn't get
| fixed. If he still can't shake it within the next nine months he will
| likely be placed on medical disability. He will not be a happy camper
| if that happens.
|
| He also had some shoulder surgery recently because of nagging pain which
| has been there ever since the accident. Exploratory surgery found some
| small bone fragments kicking around which had not shown up on Xrays.
| They were removed and he now feels a lot better.
|
| Sorry, no Oly content at all except that all the pictues I take of my
| son and his family are always done with Olympus equipment. :-)
