Default No deer but best day of my life!!!

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 2 months ago. The numbness in my leg kept me from walking too far so I figured my hunting days may be over. I'm proud to say I made it to my stand this a.m. about a 1/2 mile trek I fell a time or two, leg just don't want to lift over those logs. I had a friend tie a safety line with prussic knot so I could get in the stand without the worry of falling. I got in the stand attached my vest to the tree. I watched the woods wake up even shed a tear, I believe after two months of nasty steroids, MRI's spinal taps you nameit the countless medications. I suddenly felt whole again my leg didn't burn or feel as numb as it had I think this was the best medicine ever. No deer so what I finally got out of the depression, the feeling sorry for myself attitude and was again enjoying something I truly love to do. Good luck to all and enjoy every minute and remember how truly lucky we are to enjoy this way of life!!!
