I wanted to give a quick update before this gets buried down the line.
First of all I cannot say thanks enough or begin to share my gratitude for all of the well wishes, phone calls, texts and emails I’ve received. I do not want to embarrass any members so I will not say there name but we’ve even had members from here and local shooting community come by the house and check on me and drop off food, snacks, magazines etc… and countless others that have made those same offers of just say what and when and they’ll be here to do it. The generosity has been overwhelming. I do not come from a big family but my wife does and she keeps saying it’s my big shooting family and for that I want to say thanks and I hope I can return the favor one day!
I am improving every day. I am still walking slow and it’s painful but I’m up to 2.5 miles per day. The mornings seem to be more of a struggle to get loose but once I do if I keep moving every 45 minutes to an hour I stay pretty well loose. The most I’ve walked at one time was 3/4 of a mile. I was in a lot of pain at the end but felt a sense of accomplishment as well. I seem to have a little nerve damage in my leg and foot, when my clothes touch it I get a burning sensation like it’s sunburned. The doctors office said this was pretty normal and could take weeks or months to clear up. I am starting to limber up slightly. It felt like my spider gears were all welded together for a while. I was able to put my own socks on but I had to get a little creative. My back hurt at the surgical area but I did not have the shooting leg pains like before. I hope some of this may be useful information for those who may go through this same procedure one day. It’s not meant to be a blog post or whatever just maybe some useful information.
Thanks again and I hope to you see you at the range soon!
