Well, I’ve been thrown a curve ball that I certainly didn’t expect. Somehow, and I’m not exactly sure how, I’ve seriously injured my knee. I’ve apparently ( according to an MRI ) ruptured the quadricep muscle coming from the thigh and attaching to the knee cap. Dr. Wright Skinner had originally scheduled me for surgery but has decided against that upon review of the MRI which shows a partial tear rather than a full tear. He has put me in an immobilizing brace indefinitely in hopes that the muscle will heal and reattach given time. That means I cannot bend my knee at all until we see what happens. So, my hunting is on hold indefinitely! It is what it is and I’ll have to live with it. Maybe by the time the rut kicks in I’ll be kicking back in as well. Only the good Lord knows the answer to that question. Later…
