It looked like an awesome task to me to say the least. Now, I am off all pain killer pills, don't need an oxygen tank assistance and I walk at least a mile per day. I still need help tying my shoes but that is all. Still have to do the BLT's (no bending, lifting or twisting). The only thing that bothers me is the itching of the stitches. Should get those out in 8 days.
When I said that you have to be "mean as hell", I didn't mean it the way it came out. I am not a mean person but one that can put up with just about anything. I sure hope that this is my last surgery that I have to undertake. Maybe all the good thoughts and prayers from you guys really did help.
This is great news and thanks for sharing. Knowing the passion we all share for the outdoors and bowhunting you've been in my thoughts and prayers since first posting about the surgery and especially the extent of it.
Keep up the great work and know that we're all in your corner!
Good Luck, Gods speed
