Sorry to hear about the DVT - hope it gets better fast!

I didn’t realise just how much diving is now not just what I do, but who I am. Sat in A&E for five hours it occurred to me that someone might tell me I can’t dive again. Ever. Until you are actually faced with the possibility I don’t think you realise (well for me anyways) just what a massive thing that would be. I’m a diver. My friends are divers. My spare time is diving, talking about diving, fettling kit. I wouldn't be so shallow as to say 'life' would be over if I couldn't dive, but life as I currently know and enjoy it would. Thankfully, it hasn’t come to that.

I know exactly what you mean - I was a little bent recently - detailled on other posts - and went through the same gloomy thought process..

I hope it works out for you.
