April 23 I took a bad fall, and cracked my ribs in 17 places ,and fractured 3 vertabrae. I laid in the trama center of Presby hospital in Pittsburgh for a week. Horrible pain. Back home now. In over 50 years of hunting out of tree stands I never had an accident.Sure didn't need to fall like I did at 72 years of age. After 5 wks of healing I have been cutting grass,working on bows,and even shot a few shots out of some low poundage bows I have.Still sore, but getting better much faster than I thought. Power of prayer goes a long way. Stay safe. Bob

I hope and pray that you continue to heal rapidly and are back at full strength very soon.

Prayers said and may God Bless you. At 73 years young last month I was riding a friends horse when a deer ran out in front of the horse and throw me off, came close to really getting hurt. But I held on to the reins and was able to get back in the saddle. Was sore for a month. Hang in there.
