My season is delayed!!!
 

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! This is aggravating! Long story short...I went to the orthopedic surgeon today because of some trouble I have been having with my knee. Well, low and behold.....they gotta scope it. This.........stinks. Season opens Sept. 15, and on Sept. 8 I get my knee scoped. Sounds like I should be back on my feet the following week though, so not too aweful bad.

Good luck and hope you have a speedy recovery.
By the way, in 1994I was recovering from a torn ligament in my right knee and was unable to walk that far on the second Saturday of our PA bow season.
My buddies felt sorry for me and let me take the treestand closest to the farmhouse where we were hunting.
Guess what? I killed a nice 8 pointer and they even drug it out for me because of my knee.
I hope you have the same luck I did.

Hey does this mean weget bonus points for having a guy on the DL?

RE: My season is delayed!!!
 

Hey keep your head. I work in the health field as a PT/AT. Do exactly as the doctor says and if you any questions just PM me and I will help you get back on your feet quick. All said though if it is just a basic scope you should be fairly good in a week or two. Good luck to you.

No big deal man............You will be back on your feet in no time. Who knows??......it may even help you out seeing that if the stick is a little tender you may move slower and take more time and make less noise going to and from the stand right??

Dragging could be an issue though..........but that is ALWAYS a good problem to have ;)


Hope you have a speedy recovery

at least you wont be out too long

RE: My season is delayed!!!
 

Hey, hang in there, hope you get recovered in time to make it down to hunt this fall. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes.

RE: My season is delayed!!!
 

Hey good luck with that. Last year I had major surgury two weeks before opening day of PA rifle. Needless to say I was in my stand at day break. I barely made it there cause I couldn't walk very well. They had cut into my thigh to remove an abcess and I still had the drain tube in my leg. Not very fun. Long story short...I shot a doe....she fell over s 20ft cliff after the shot...and my dad and grandpa had to drag her back up while i stood and watched:D

I have confidence, you will be ready to go....if not don't worry you will be healed shortly after.

RE: My season is delayed!!!
 

Hang in there mobowhuntr. You'll be back in the woods in no time.

RE: My season is delayed!!!
 

Missing opening day "no biggie" Most of the best hunting is yet to come like oct-nov;)you will be ready for the rut thats what really counts.. Get well soon and good luck tag a big one..

RE: My season is delayed!!!
 

Mobowhuntr,

Don't sweat it too much, you will be fine. I had my left knee done on 7-27-05 (third time) and I was slowly walking around that afternoon. By the third day I wasgetting around fine.I have my right knee scheduled this monday and I expect the same results.

It will be sore but you should be able to get around, just go at your own pace. If you have any questions, any at all, after the surgery please just pm or e-mail me and I will help as much as I can.

I know things like this suck but you will get thru it. Again if I can help in any way just give me a shout.

BigJ

I wish you a speedy recovery. Hopefully you will be upand well as soon as possible.

RE: My season is delayed!!!
 

Hope it heals quickly. I had major shoulder surgery nearly 2 months ago and my Sept 15th opener is also in jeopardy. When you're back on your feet in a week, remember I still have a ways to go before I can much of anything with my arm. Getting stands into trees will be a major ordeal -- if I can do it at all.
