Back in reloading room

[rjtfroggy]

Well here it is 7 weeks since major surgery and I can finally get back to the reloading bench.
I have 200 rounds prepped and ready from before the surgery and today I was able to charge 50 of them and I seated 10 bullets and then had to call it a day.
Sitting with the stretching and twisting was starting to get painful all through out my abdominal region, not sure which one of the 5 incessions is causing it but the other day the doc said give it time.
All in all just happy to be able to go down stairs and do some thing.

Great to hear you are on the mend that well. Give it time to heal and u will be back @ 100% soon.

Glad to hear that you feel like getting back at it. Just take it easy. Yeah yeah, I know, its easier to say than do.

Very nice. Started my day in the loading room this a.m. so I "hear you" on being glad to get back to the business.

Glad you were able to get upand do something, but its also probably good you didn’t push yourself to hard once you felt soreness

Glad you're back in the "saddle".

I had double hernia surgery on May 8, 2020 - It wasn't until late June that I could resume ground hogging and then only where I could walk a short distance and set up on my sportsman's chair with my shooting stick. By late August I was able to resume walking in the field carrying a rifle and my chair.

I know how hard it is to restrain one's self but be patient and follow your doctor's instructions.

Slow but steady brother! All things heal in time. Sounds like you are doing it right. Only doing what you can and then taking a brake. Hang in there!!!

Glad to hear you are on the mend! I've been lucky as I have parts falling off and so far (except for SI joint surgery) I've been able to pick up the pieces and put them back on!

Good to hear your getting back to it . Take your time and do what you can do . Have had eleven major surgeries throughout my life , and each one required it's own healing / recovery time . Kind of like eating a elephant . One bite at a time .

Glad you are back on your feet!

Keep moving as much as you can take every day.

We don't heal like we did when we were youngsters, but humans don't do well sitting still.

I usually load between 1& 200 cases at a time right now I am able to sit through 25-50, but I do some every day so if I'm able I will be ready for the first match of the season in mid May.
I am loading for 6BR. 30BR and 30x47. Generally shoot 2 guns but will be happy if I can shoot just 1 for a 2 day match. If I can it will be my hunter class ( 30x47).

Don’t rush and push yourself. Let your body tell you what it needs
