Hip problems

[bearmaster]

Hi all just wondering if any of you have hip problems you have had to learn to work around to go hunting? I have severely impaired hips that make everyday walking a chore, I still haven't been able to have it properly diagnosed but I suspect the need for a double hip replacement in my near future. In the morning I have a hard time getting up out of bed without assistance or just have to roll out of bed and use furniture to stand. it has gotten worse lately I have lived with this condition for about 2 years(severe) and 3 years before as an agrevated ache.

I mainly just bearhunt so baiting has become a real chore as my area's I have access to are rough terrain.

I may be losing my job soon because I cannot continue to walk and stand on pavement for the long periods required.

What do you do to aide your hunts?

any suggestions or comments appreciated.
