Cheer me up boys…

Hopefully it's not as bad as it feels. Sometimes the inflammation and buildup of fluid can cause a lot of pain. Maybe they can just drain the fluid, give you a Cortisone shot and send you on your way. Good luck.

Does that sticker in your truck get you access beyond gated roads or into wilderness areas or would an ebike still be needed?

Not sure of the perks. Besides it gets folks out at least.

Hopeful for a fast and full recovery for you HW.

Also, try not rely on booze for pain or psychological management. Otherwise you might not fit into your hunting pants after a few months. Ask me how I know...

 

[LukeDuke]

Oh dang. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully this is something that some PT can fix asap.

 

[Pucky Freak]

Glad it happened now and not Sept. wishing you a speedy recovery and back in action by fall. Please don’t deprive us of sharptail pictures for a whole year!

I used to respect you, but I can't figure out a dignified way you were immediately able to find that clip with a timestamp.

The knife man cometh? I am so sorry to hear this. That totally sucks with the season coming on. I've had three more minor knee surgeries. and they've never felt better. But they were meniscus and trash clean outs. Easily recovered, even for an old goat.

Friday, I had to schedule shoulder surgery. I pushed it to late Nov., but it still sucks. December and January are lost. Gus will be sad, and so will I.

Ps. If you get laid up for most of the season, you will be the terror of HT. Maybe we will have to send you care packages.

Bummer.

Kenobi is over, what else am I going to watch?

I had a partial tear (~50%) of my ACL in my early 40's that caused me to spend 6 weeks in a brace and 8 weeks PT. Took almost a year to fully recover but was back to 100%.
Also destroyed my ankle on kodiak a couple years later that required full reconstruction. Snapped ligament replaced with cadaver tissue, partially torn Achilles that got stitched back together and cracked joint that eventually healed. That was another year recovery.
It takes time and religious dedication to PT. You got this.

PT is the most important part I was not great about it.

 

[Nameless Range]

Dang! Sorry. Heal up soon

 

[Bullshot]

Have hope that this will be behind you before you know it..

Tore my knees up three times in high school sports, never had to get cut on.
Have had both knees scoped in the last 10 years for a torn meniscus. I would be lying if I said I was 100% but I can still get around.
Good luck to you.

 

[BAKPAKR]

I am sorry to hear about your ailment. Maybe a bunny can cheer you up.

 

[elkduds]

It is worth fixing it right this time, whatever is needed, even if it costs you a hunting season IME. Hoping for your fast and full recovery. Had my L ACL replaced @ 32, recovered in a year, didn't miss a hunting or ski season. Still works pretty well 30 years later. Still I'm just a little knee bitch compared to other guys here.

 

[OntarioHunter]

Hang in there. Try to keep your weight down. Very hard when can't do anything but it is important when recovering from back and knee surgery. Good luck. Hope you're back in the field by hunting season.

 

[JShane]

I have no stories about knee injuries. Here's Ryan Reynolds being compassionate.

Dammit!

On the bright side maybe you can get a shoot from the vehicle placard?

Hoping for a speedy rehab.
