Prayed for Rutnut

Thank you for the reply. I see medical team left a message on your leg.
Steve

Actually, I did that. (Team UBP) little advertisement for our state Bowhunting org! 

They were measuring my leg every day to guage swelling and marking it on my leg, so I didn’t think a little more graffiti would hurt!

Glad you still have a good sense of humor after all you have been trough with this ordeal.

Hospitals definitely aren't cheap but worth every penny.  When my daughter was hurt her bills were just shy of a million dollars.  She was in pediatric ICU for 21 days and then another 5 in the pediatric unit.  If I didn't have a heart attack opening them bills I never will.  It's amazing what a person can accomplish with faith and determination and there's no better motivator for determination than having to get it done for your family's sake.  I've been in some really bad situations over the years and I always said I'll never give up, not even after I'm dead and between that and God's help I always made it home.  Sometimes banged up but I always came home.

Yep- amazing what you can do with the right motivation! I just remember thinking..................”this is really gonna suck, but you just gotta do it! 2.2 miles...............let’s go! You got NO CHOICE!”

I'm sure it sucked big time but the alternative certainly is a lot more permanent and sucks the worst.  I'm a total believer in the theory of if you think and believe you can do it you will do it, never give up, and if you doubt me just sit back and watch me do it.

That’s it Chris!

just read the entire thread. I normally don't read the "prayer" threads... so don't know why I read the entire thing..I just did... glad you made it.. it just wasn't your time... and your love of family, god and country saw you through.. for the record. I hate snakes.. wouldn't break my heart if they all go extinct...you take care and heal well!

Thanks Roccus! I NEVER liked snakes, and now I have even MORE reason NOT to like them!

Getting better, but very SLOW progress!  .  Saw Dr. today and was hoping he would say I could start PT, but he wanted to defer to the Specialists(Toxicologists I see next Tuesday). So still no driving. Walking better with cane, but still have a ways to go! Still swelling and pain in ankle/foot. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks- sure thought I would be further along by now!
