Hello fellow Hoggers, I have been away from the Hog for over a month due to surgery on my right leg. The by-pass
went well, the pain didn't, but I survived. Yesterday was the
first day I could walk unaided , it be awhile before I can walk normally, something I haven't done in eight years,
the day I look forward to. I don't want to go through this
again. Thanks

Welcome back. Better days ahead. I feel for you. I had two knee replacements six month apart. All's well now, but man, the pain was something else.

You had vascular issues with your leg? Sucks. Artery / Vein surgery corrected it I hope.

I've got less deadly issues with my walking, gouty arthritis, not really treatable. Just have to live with the pain and not be on my feet for long. I want to get an electric cart so I can ride around and shoot from I sitting position when I can, or just stand to take a shot. Even pain killers only help about 50%.

I have had this problem for eight long years, I pray this
solves my problems Mike. Had it on both legs, a stint helped my left leg but everything was jumbled up on my
right, there for by-pass. Sorry about your problems.
