Getting Closer....pics
« on: July 17, 2013, 01:23:00 PM »
This heat is brutal but I need to get out and do some yard work. Two hours later, tired, drenched in sweat, decided to continue drawing back my 55# Longbow.

Doc sez I should be fine by late Sept...not good enough for me. Hit the shop and fired off 10 arrows with absolutely no pain. Life is shaping up for this coming fall....

I wouldn't push it, those doctors know more than we credit them for sometimes.  My Buddy will have to go through ANOTHER operation soon because he started pushing his knee too early.

just slow down and you will be better, do not rush it
You just posted so we would drool over your shop, bowrack and racks and such.  Now slow down, turbo, and at least try to follow doc's orders.

I thought this was going to be a thread about "getting closer" to game! With pics no less!

Really though, glad you're feeling better but like others have said. Slow down, take it easy, be careful!

Good for you Joe....don't get to cocky.......Take your time and work at it slow! You don't want to do this twice!!

Good deal Joe.   Like others above, I wouldn't hurry things.

A knee operation and therapy taught me that!

Hope you keep improving, Skychief.

Go get 'em Joe! Slow but sure. Killed a little buck 9 1/2 weeks after quadruple bypass. You' ll get there, I'm sure of it. You are one of the real ones......best of luck

Nice form Joe, but I wouldn't rush it either, when your resting and sitting around, take the magnets off the fridge and put them on the area, that will help heal it faster, and fresh pineapple is good for the scar.
