Well tommorow is the day i meet with the Surgen about my right Knee, And it could very well be the end to my season, Man i havent even got started. Iam really hoping to be back here posting that he gave me a shot and iam buying some time, Thats my wish, even though it will be a bandaid, at least i will be able to hunt, I save almost all my Vacation time for this comming weekend till Novenber 18th. Well wish me luck, iam going to try and sleep tonight, here shortly and only hope for the best, I was thinking today that maybe i could postpone surgery till after the season, and then go on Sick leave, although i would be limited to my hunting.
Take Care
Dave

That's what I did 3 years ago. I only put it off until the day after Thankgiving though. It did limit my choice of location, but I got to hunt and had my son and a friend drag the one that I shot.

Good luck brother, Don't let that doctor tell ya no, I hunted with my arm in a sling because of shoulder surgery in 2004, had a set of shooting sticks and took 2 deer during the firearms season,
If there is a will there is a way, best of luck

I wish you luck..... I know that at the hospital I worked at the patients could choose when they had their surgery so long as it was not an emergency.... So I foresee you in the woods on your vacation tagging out.

Well iam so pumped!!!!! No Surgery, all though i have to get 3 shots for the next two Wed's it's suppose to help, He wants to try this and see if this will help. First one burned like H***, but its starting to ease some, he said it would take one more and we would know for sure,Plus taking so anti flamitory Med's. Iam hitting the woods tommorow and see what happens, it's alittle sore but i can live with that, as long as i don't have to have Surgery.... Did i tell you iam off till November 18th Vacation should be adding some points here real soon???

Good news Dave! Take it easy as the Cortizone / Steroid shot eases the pain but does not repair the tissue damage. Pace yourself buddy......

Exactly what deertracks said.... The shots kill the pain but the damage is not better so don't over do it...... Glad to hear your not going under the knife though...... I am sure there is a trophy out there just waiting on you.
