Going under the knife...**Updated**

[BowBendr]

I've been laying pretty low lately. I was ready for deer season, but things come up. I have been in agony for years, I have tried everything to make life better, chiropractors, inversion and physical therapy. Not being able to enjoy playing with your kids or hunting will wear on you. If you can't participate in what matters to you most you are not living. I found out that I actually had a broken vertebrae, major bone spurs and fragments, plus the pinched nerves that ice the cake. We gonna fix it all on Oct. 12th. Not looking forward to surgery, actually I'm terrified, but I will do it to hopefully hunt and play another 48 years.
You have to love non-hunters ! When the surgeon asked me what I expected most from the surgery, the look on his face was priceless when I said that my first goal was to shoot a gobbling tom turkey and not have to crawl over to get him after the shot ! He was actually speechless...
Humbly asking you to keep me in mind on next Wednesday the 12th. Looking forward to relief, and looking forward to getting back into the woods in the spring of '17 to comfortably bust some gobblers. Missing deer season has me bummed but I pray it will all be worth it !
Have fun, hunt safe, hunt smart and post some deer pics. I'll be doing a lot of reading for the next few months. Thanks !!

Good luck man. I had a fusion back in Sept of 09. C3 - C5. Really went well, out of work for a month but was able to get in on some late season dear huntin. It gets a little stiff now and then but no more shoulder pain. Surgery was a success.
Prayin for you.

Will be thinking of you on the 12th. You're making the right move by the sound of your pain.

I'm already thinking healing thoughts for you BowBendr.  I had C-4,C-5,and C-6 fused several years ago and have been able to do almost anything I've wanted to ever since.  It will definitely test your patience during the healing process, but life gets better when you take the time to mend.  Good luck & have fun spending your tags next Spring.

Good luck and hope you mend quickly. Our health is easy to take for granted until something goes wrong. My wife's grandmother use to say getting old isn't for sissys and the older I get the more I realize what she was meaning. Lol. Keep us updated on the O.G. You'll be back better than ever. Prayers sent and God bless...

Good luck buddy, wish you the best of luck with the surgery and recovery. I will be keeping you in my prayers in the upcoming days and wish you well.
