Thanks fellas.
I hope this works because it's the last trip I'm making. I can't keep doing this crap. If it doesn't work then the only other option will be to fuse the bones. I'm not looking forward to that so I will deal with it as long as I can. Once those are fused I'm pretty much screwed since it's in the lower back. No more bending around and climbing trees to sit in my stands and we just can't be having that lol. I could do ground blinds and I know they are fun but they just aren't the same when you been doing this as long as I have. If it comes down to that or nothing then I will do it but if there is anyway at all I can climb in a tree stand you can bet I will be there.
Off to bed in a few since I can no longer drink or eat...Blah lol.
