Doing better today, though my compression hose caused a cut on my right foot. I'll be in hose and gloves from here on out. CVI and all.

Waiting on ortho to discharge or keep me. Depends on whether they want to do surgery or not.

Just want to let you all know I made it home to rehab. I walk some, I can use my arm some, and I'm hoping to pull a bow again soon. My DL isn't affected,and my draw weight is TBD today at therapy. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes, now I have to learn to shoot with only one eye. We'll see how well that works.

My thoughts and prayers are with you! I have not been able to hunt for a few years because of heart problems but hopefully this year I will be able to go bow hunting again. Hang in there and keep your hopes up!

Looks like it's 40-45 pounds optimistically. 35-40 more realistically. Arm shook trying to draw one of my lighter heavy bows, would have been about 75 full (36") draw. 36" I remind everyone is to the corner of my mouth, and I can only alter down with good form to 32". I say this before people tell me don't draw so far-if my left arm hadn't been so heavily damaged as a teenager, I would have had a natural 40" draw, as my left arm is 4 or so inches shorter than my right.

I can shoot my wife's left handed 34 pound recurve, but only have lightweight arrows 28" long. I'm going to see what kind of set my hickory warbow took being strung the whole time I was in and work from there.

Just realized that puts me perfectly in the range for the manchubows.com bow. Draws 36", low weights to work up with. Got to start saving my pennies.

I think you are recovering very fast! Already shooting, that is insane! What me always helped after a MS stroke: make push-ups! Do not over do it, if it is one, then just one. If you can't, try it with sitting on your knees first. A few per day will be enough. I always try to make one more then the former day. Once you can make 25, you are in shape again... But DON'T overdo it, listen to your body...

The power of prayer and your determination seems like you are doing great. Keep up the hard work and never give up.

Don't quit...never quit.

Quit was a swear word growing up. I'm working on new bow designs as we speak. I've got some ideas to help this torn-out shoulder of mine.
