Prayers sent for a speedy recovery and patience. Man what a bummer, I'm sure you were really excited about your first deer and then this happened, I hope you get well soon and show the docs you can heel faster than they say! God speed!

Thank you all for your support and prayers. Yep, I'll be spending a lot of time on my computer now. Won't be able to work for 3-6 months minimum. Best advice I can give any one is Static line and Prusik knot. Even the best harness can't help you if you are not attached to it. Physical therapists have been amazed at my upper body strength, another plus from pulling bows so much this year.

Have seen both the hip and heel doctors this week, both say I seem to be healing okay. Both also said I'd be off my leg for 3 months. Hip doc took out the staples from my hip on Monday that helps I can move the hip but can't put any weight on it. Heel doc took out the stitches and took off the cast on Thursday. Now in one of those "Moon" boots (removable cast) with instructions to take it off five times a day to stretch the muscles and tendons - I have three exercises to do. First I'd ever heard of moving a broken joint before six weeks were over. Guess he knows what he's doing. I'd messed up and let my pain meds go too long at the doc's yesterday and was in a lot of pain coming home. Finally got the pain under control but it took a lot out of me. I was asleep beween 8 and 8:30 p.m. last night.

Thanks EVERYONE. Darrell and Becky your the best. Yes, I am shooting some deer. Put wheelchair where I want it and my buddy throws the pop-up over me and hands me my rifle. Then it's sit and wait. Wish I was using bow or even a crossbow (shame on me) but I have yet to teach my buddy how to follow a blood trail or track. Am not going to try it from a walker or wheelchair. Have to wait til next years bow season now. Still practicing with my bows want to be ready for next year, plus it helps keep me in shape. Don't see Dr's again until week after this one. I'll keep ya all posted.
