Well It Has Been a Very Rough Thanksgiving to now!!!! & It Will Get Harder!! Had a Stress test 11-26-13. Ended up in the Hospital being told that i Will have Quadrupal bypass first thing in the morning!!! Bypass started at 9:30 A.M. & Was put in ICU at 4:30 P.M. on 11-27-13 Needless to say I Have Had Better Thanksgivings. I am Home now Have 10# wait limit & NO Pushing or pulling with arms
 So I am Going to be Starting over from scratch When I Get The O.K. Sometime in January to shoot my bows! Have Been Here before... But Hoped I would NEVER Have to begin at Zero Again But I still have everything I Need to do it!!!
 Will be starting with a slingshot about the end of Feb. Start of March!!  :banghead:    :archer2:

Hey Jeff,

I hope your recovery goes well.  If you can't shoot soon, maybe you'll be ready for spring fishing.  I've fished the White River near you and loved it.

Best Wishes,

Dirtguy

And forget about "starting over". You will be amazed how little accuracy you will lose. Some draw weight probably, but like riding the proverbial bike; you never forget.

I am thankful that you got your problem taken care of before it had a chance to take care of you.

Had quad bypass 4 years ago on 10/22. Killed a little buck 12/28. I probably pushed it a little bit  :)  You'll be back sooner than you know. Coughing is a real pain ain't it?   :)
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work

Once you recover from the surgery you will be surprised how well you feel. If you had a quad blockage, you were weakened more than you realize. Thank the good lord they caught it. You'll be back in notime.

Starting over is never from zero.  You have skill, experience, and knowledge.

I'm sure you will do well.  Confidence, compliance, and following instructions will get you across the finish line!

Catching the problem before it might have been too late is reason for very real Thanksgiving!
DO the therapy, LISTEN to the docs and you'll be ready for turkey season.
Praying for complete recovery!
