Coming Back from Surgery.
« on: January 29, 2014, 11:26:00 AM »
Just Got O.K.ed To go from ten pounds to 20 pounds!! Starting the the long road Back to Shooting my Longbow!! Starting today Pulling back my wrist rocket slingshot. Not Shooting it Just Pulling it back & Letting it Down. Also useing a Big physical therapy type Rubber Band.
 For Those That Don't Know I Had Qaudruple Bypass surgery on November 27th It Has Been A Interesting trip to this point. Happy To Say Everything is Great at This Point & getting started on Building some muscle back up!! Will Add Pics & Update This as Things progress
 I Live just a few minutes From Fred & Teressa Asbell so I Stop & Talk to Fred occasionally About Building Back up & Shooting
 I Hope it will not take to much time to get back in Shape!! Will Post pics & Add to this Posting Later! Have a Great Day!!

It is good to hear that you are making progress both with pulling the bow and your overall health.

I had the same in 2008. I do know they didn't want me to lift anything over 10# for 10 weeks in order to let the breast bone heal. You do NOT want to harm that breast bone so take it easy. But by 12-14 weeks I was shooting a 30# bow with ease and by 20 weeks was back up to hunting weight.

Am walking an hour a day. Just Pulling my Slingshot & the Big Bands is Helping. Still Have a long way to go!! Hate the weight limit but I know it is for my own good!! doesn't make it any easyer
 It Will get Better I Know but Right now it Still sucks!!! Got a 45# bow when I get to that point to help build up to my hunting weight.Can't even Pick up my Granddaughter with this restriction She Weigh's about 25#
  Going to rehab 3 days a Week helps Although Haven't had a Full Week in 4 weeks do to Michigan Weather!! Gotta Love This Michigan Snow & Cold!!! Well I Will get some Pics up soon & Talk to you Later!! GO SEAHAWKS!!!
