I do have another lease on life and need to make some changes NOW. Looking forward to getting back in the woods plus other enjoyable pastimes. MANY THANKS for all the thoughts and prayers.

Glad your on the mend and good call on going to the doctor. My dad had similar symptoms years ago and had a quadruple bypass. Said the worst part was the chest pain from the sternum and ribs healing. Sad to say it but my uncle and grandad both had symptoms they should have got checked and aren't here anymore. It's no joke

Well I'm 20 pounds lighter and still kicking after a few setbacks runnin well walkin anyways the woods and got a longbeard yesterday. As for setbacks had a bloodclot in my left leg at the vein harvest site, 1200 ml fluid drained off my left lung(coughed my guts out) and my sternum bone has never fused. Surgeon said we can (if I would like) take me apart shave the bones and wire me back up and hope it fuses this time. It's not moving or clicking, wires still tight and doesn't bother me much so decided to hold off for now. Now to the gobbler, worked this bird off roost 3 days in a row and we had him inside 40 each day but thick and never offered a clean shot. Yesterday moved on field edge to change call locations but left us silhouetted so the 2 longbeards had us pinned down even tho they were 12 yards but just too thick and they kept moving. They went back and circled gobblin like crazy behind my daughter and hard to my left but even thicker. 20 yards strutter wouldn't clear but his guard and lookout gave me a hurried shot as he turned to go back again. After all the heart fun last fall it sure felt GOOD to be in the woods with family hearing those gobbles then carrying home a gobbler. THANKS AGAIN for all your prayers and thoughts, I am truly BLESSED!

Congratulations to you and prayer for your continued health.

That is awesome, so glad to hear. Good for you!
You are a better man than I. I would have played that up a little, there is no way I would have carried that turkey out.
