Yes my Big Buddy, this has been quite the shock. Still has me nervous, but a little less so than when it started. Decided to wander around to deliver a quick update, and since you're here, let you know I'll be contacting you fairly soon. I am right hoping to be shooting again in the not too far distant future...Big John wrote:... Please do what the MedicineMan tells ya! I know how much you love the rifles and shooting. I wish you many, many more years in the woods!! I will be waiting for update...
At this point I am still "bed-ridden". Head must remain in a certain position for the vast majority of the day (and night). That presses the gas bubble up against the repair areas and helps it to heal. Two more days of that... Already bored beyond belief...
Two set of eye drops multiple times daily. Antibiotics, steroids, and a beta-blocker to reduce pressure / swelling inside the eye. Interesting trying to get them in there with only the other eye to aim with.
Already starting to seem some distorted colors and very fuzzy images. Likely be a few more weeks before those swim a little closer into view. SawBones suggested I might be able to return to work (fishing) by mid August.
Doc said "we'll have to have a rather serious chat about that down the line". I explained that our plans included a hunt in the latter part of August and the intended targets included Grizz (translating 300 Weatherby Magnum). All he would say is "we'll talk"... Suppose I might have to look into one of those muzzle brakes after all Paul...Boo wrote:Matt, did the Dr mention if you have to stop shooting heavy recoiling rifles?
Well, that's where we sit for now. Best be getting back to the day bed and stare at the ceiling again. Did want to say Thanks again to all those thinking of me and forwarding such fine words of encouragement... Back atcha as I am able...
Cheers,
Nog
