Title: The come back trail.........
Post by: ron w on August 01, 2015, 01:52:00 PM
Big day today......after my knee replacement and extended hospital stay, my wife got me down in the side yard on my range to shoot my bow. Shot my new to me Bear T/D "B mag" with #3 limbs. Pretty cool for a 40 year old bow. Only shot for 15 minutes and I was tuckered. Boy it felt good. The come back trail is a rugged one but I know it will be conquered.

Had friends who said they wished they had done it 10 yrs earlier, but one friend rushed the recovery and got infected, the taken out an another to replace first one, soooo follow recovery plan exactly. Glad you had the bow back in your hands.

Ron-
Good to hear you are getting about. Remember to do what your therapist says! I know I missed all last season due to shoulder surgery and am feeling good and shooting good too!
Godspeed to you!

Shooting a bow is just good for the soul.  I know my wife likes me better when I'm shooting! haha
Keep after it and do your rehab.  This young dog is recovering from back surgery #2.  Just keep your mind focused on the positive and don't let it drag you down.  Good luck and speedy recovery.

I had one of my knees replaced 6 or so years ago. It is much better now than it was. Just keep up with your physical therapy and do lots and lots of walking. You will be amazed at how good it is a couple of years after the surgery.

Got out to shoot again today......man it feels good even if I didn't shoot well. PT is going well but it's tough. 2 young ladies put me though the paces, I call them the evil twins.....I think the goal is to make me cry........lol. But I think I can see some short hunts in my future this fall.
