    not really, my days were filled with dr's. physios and worst of all painkillers. till my body told me no more painkillers !
    pain goes on, for those with a medial no how what was affected most was the brachial plexus nerves, a bunch of nerves that run from the spine out to the arm. anyways the arm came out 3-4" and when it sprung back (with a little help) the nerves stretched to hell and back.
    to give you an idea what its like, my fingers go from numb-frost bite. and when i say numb i mean it. i have been n the kitchen thinking "whats that smell". its my hand on a hot element ( not the hot 5th element haha)
    i was on so many painkillers i forgot what way was up in the middle of the night, fell over in the hallway and broke my ankle clean thru. never even noticed til the next day.
    next issue is that being injured/ stoned on prescription drugs does evil things to the weight. so now on blood pressure meds.

    ok, enough ranting from me!!
    FFS people keep safe out there. because so far i am up to 15 broken bones, major burns to lower legs, crushed upper legs, eye injury, spinal injury and a whole lot more.
    as for doctors well lets just say soe are good, some are amazing and some should never treat a patient ever again.

    Your father in laws brother Trevor managed a farm just around the road from my place back in the eighties. We did a bit of pig hunting together.
    Trevor's dad managed a block before my old man took over running it. I worked there myself for 6 years plus contract fenced on that place for a bit as well.

    Pongo 12 you make 800 plus yards look easy, very nice shooting, shame about the mishap on the farm, it will slow up the hunting for a bit. I suppose it could have been a lot worse at least you are still above the ground.
