Question: Safe for me to dive?

johnsmithgrey · 2 days

Perhaps the better question to ask your doctor will be simply, can I get in the ocean.

Are you wearing a cast? Will 'diving' hurt your bones/fracture/hardware used to fix your arm? No. Could exposing your incision to the sea increase your risk of infection. . Yes. Are you taking antibiotics? Is your incision healing and well approximated?

Ultimately it is up to you and your doctor. . . Your doctor will likely not know specifically about diving as it is probably not a question he is asked. . . ever. . . So check with DAN also.

Good luck.

I was aware. Perhaps you didn't notice that every word was also capitalized. . and there was no proper punctuation at the end of the sentence. But thank you for your valuable contribution.

Or have read the bible regularly for 10, 20, 30, 40 years. . . And have a decent understanding. I have noticed not all but many atheists were raised in funie households, and have a fair understanding of the bible. . . Some moreso than others naturally.

I recently had this almost exact conversation with my fundie dad. It went no where as he refused to comment on any of the points I made. I hope you had better success!

Ya, is there any informationa about the mask attachment yet? Does it have to be a particular mask? Or is it a universal attachment?

I have never mentioned that I am an atheist.

Yes, this is basically what happened with my dad. He wanted me to remove my comments that he deemed disrespectful (which were actually a direct quote from him) I told him that because my intensions were not that of disrespect, that I would remove them. However, in return I asked him to also remove his comments that I found disrespectful (aka gays are going to hell etc. . ) Long story short, I removed the comments he found disrespectful. . He did not remove his disrespectful comments, and went on to say everyone in a very lengthy facebook 'thread' that did not agree with him "Did not know what the heck they were talking about". And in the end he told a girl that took his side, that she was "like his 3rd daughter he never had" despite the fact that she has a child out of wedlock, and lives with a man out of wedlock. Talk about picking and chosing which parts of the bible you feel the need to enforce.

Not sure I understand your point.

The Holy Spirit tells them to put it in their butt.

My buddy pointed out 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Always good for a laugh.

I hope you are able to work it out with yours before the last one on the list applies.

This was exactly my reasoning for asking my father the questions I did. (He refused to 'work it out') And that, is a difficult pill to swallow.

I have gone to my father. I have tried to talk to him. I have tried expressing my questions and concerns. I was a man about it. Like I said, this is only some silly therapeutic release. Nothing more. And for the record I too am a father. I know I have and will make mistakes. To me, acknowledging those mistakes, offering an apology, or explaining why you made that mistake are all apart of being a decent father. I am not a young man, I am not a rebelious 20 something. . . While that is a nice poem and all, I don't feel it applies. In my letter to my father, I first and foremost said 1 I love you. 2 While I don't agree, I respect your beliefs and your freedom to choose whatever belief you like. I was not an arrogant ass hole. I was kind and accepting. With genuine questions. You didn't hear the conversation, and were very quick to draw a conclusion.
