Well john at least you're still rocking the stash.... sorry too see you go through all that..... man that was one nasty fall my man.... hopefully you'll be in the stand this year with no ill effect......
 
I was told I was 10' up on the ladder

2 Doc's said if my head wasn't so hard , I might have been dead

Also when they screwed the plates in my head and wrist
My skull and arm bone was so hard some screws twisted off

I should be able to hunt with a crossbow
Not sure yeat if I will be cleared to shoot a gun by then

Glad you are here to tell us about it John. Is it too early to joke with you about it? If not, I think you should use this as an opportunity. You have a built in excuse whenever you mess something up now. You can tell them "Sorry. I'm a little screwed in the head." lmao

Definitely looks like it was painful. I would imagine the healing was probably worse than the fall if you were out after hitting the ground. Someone was watching over you.
