So sorry for your accident. Will also be praying for a speedy and complete recovery. Best wishes my friend.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Thank you for all the kind words Folks, I sure appreciate it.
Ted...
None of us ever know. Seasons spent afield are clearly finite. I don't think anyone fully considers their increasing fragility until they realize that they're done. The ability to cover ground efficiently and then be effective in your weapon of choice are the barriers, and at some point you simply can't get over them. The physical limitations stack up to where a point of no-return is reached.
The irony of last night was that it was our Christmas game dinner (featuring grouse, elk and walleye offerings) something that my wife and I do for old hunting and fishing friends. I toughed it out so I could participate before finally heading off to hospital. I didn't want to miss it for essentially the same reason....you never know.

Lloyd,
Thankfully you've had a good season this past Autumn, and you'll be looking forward and planning next year's getaway. When I hit health roadblocks, looking forward to next year keeps me optimistic. Having something to look forward to really helps!
My best wishes to you,
Karl

Lloyd, Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. You need to make the Vintagers dinner in February.

Lloyd, I’m sorry to hear of your accident. Easy to do. I tore my rotator cuff as a result of a fall on ice about 10 years ago. First real injury or health problem I had ever had. Now they are piling up. As someone else noted, getting old ain’t for sissies. Lol.
Good luck and I hope the surgery goes well.

Ouch, that really sucks Lloyd. And being out of commission for probably 6 to 8 weeks is never a good thing either. I hope your surgery goes well, and that you have a speedy recovery. Best of luck to you.

at 74, i have come to believe that everything in life is temporal....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_too_shall_pass
we should enjoy the pleasant and happy times, and be willing to persevere the unfavorable and sad - neither is permanent.
as arlo gutherie sang..... just waiting for it to come around again...
sorry to learn that you drew the short straw....make the best of it, and look forward to better days.
best regards,
tom
