Wow, that is some tough news. Good thing you are a seasoned trapper and used to laying in cold water for extended periods of time. Hope your recovery goes well and you can heal up quickly and comfortably. I can relate to the water on ice because yesterday I did the same thing on my driveway while going for the mail. It happened so fast that before I even knew what was happening my feet went up in the air and I came down on my side and hit the side of my head at the same time. Good thing I have a hard head and only wrecked my shoulder. Based on our experiences, I would say that getting mail these days is a hazardous endeavor. Good luck to you, Tom!
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Dang! Sorry to hear that Tom. Sound like you're taking the bull by the horns and are gonna get yourself straightened out.

Glad you are on the mend.

I have a messed-up elbow from the same kind of fall. Hope you get well quickly and your rehab goes great.

Tom, you're too old to be doing stuff like that. I don't know if you have any, but that's what grandkids are good for. They can fetch stuff for us old folks. I'm sure glad you're on the mend.

Dang glad it didn’t turn tragic. Hopefully your better soon
But got to ask why you said no to pain meds? The “ OxyContin “ is whole different animal than OxyCodone. OxyContin is late stage cancer meds . It’s a scientific fact you heal faster on pain medication and you have to take multiple doses for SEVERAL days even weeks in a row before you become hooked. Unless a person has been hooked on them before. I hear people saying they won’t take any because they get hooked. Hate to break it to you but you got pumped full of morphine during and after surgery unless you are allergic to it . My point is don’t go thru unnecessary pain and torture because your afraid to get hooked. My wife just had a double laminectomy, double discectomy, fusion from L3- L5 all without pain meds except for what they gave her during surgery. Her reasoning.... She wanted to be able to poop. Narcotics have the effect of constipation on most people, even if only taken for a day or 2.

Tom, I hope and pray you heal quickly. Think about what jbyrd said and the pain meds.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Elkaholic that’s true but a surgeon worth half a grain of salt will tell you to take a stool softener when he hands you the prescription. Well both of mine did with fusion and rotator cuff .
But anyway praying for quick recovery! Hopefully they got you fixed up and back on your feet pain free soon
