So are friends and cousins. I'll just shoot and get on the Walkie-talkie and call one of them over!!

Great news my friend. but too bad on the timing!! good luck on your hunt.

Well I could likely put it off RA. But to know what it's like tape a marble at the bottom of your foot at the base of the middle toe and try walking on it all day! It's pretty darn uncomfortable even to wear a shoe/sneaker.

My problem is that every year at this time I end up with some affliction. This time it is my lower back pain!!! One of these years I hope to walk into the woods pain free!!!

GL with that!!! I aint walked into the woods "pain free" since my 20's! Gawd gettin old SUCKS!!!

I've had a bad back for years too. But it comes and goes. Several years ago I was bear hunting in NC PA and was lucky enough to shoot a decent boar. My back was doing really well. That is up until I rolled him over to start to dress him out! Then POW - I pulled it out. Both me and the bear laid there for a good hour before I could finally move again. Luckily it was all downhill and when I got close enough I called one of the gang on the radio to come load us both on the truck!

surgery done - all went well. can do everything in 3 days as long as I keep it clean and dry.

Keep it clean? Sound like forum rules.

Great news Bronko. Glad you're back in action.

Also it's great that you will be able to do everything. I need that surgery. It's been quite a while since I could do everything. I've always wanted to play the violin. Is that included in everything?

Definitely. The piano too.

wow good news it not cancer, best of luck give it hell ....ed
