HOLY CRAPOLA!!!

I have had medical problems since shortly after first gulf war and sommalia deployment. i have put up quite a fight but have started loosing my grip on things.. it is easy to forget this matter is not in my control, GOD WILL PUT ME THROUGH WHATEVER HE FEELS NECCESSARY TO MAKE ME THE MAN, HUSBAND, FATHER THAT I AM OR THE PERSON HE WANTS ME TO BE. I love the outdoors and hunting but i am puting alot in jeopardy doing thes activities. i had multiple hip surgeries to try and put off needing replacements and then hiked, hauled gear, animals etc. in and out of woods. NOT GOOD! i have jeopardized my relationship with wife by pushing myself to the point of needing surgery after surgery and with that comes the responsibility for her to take care of me every single time post op.. how do i quit doing this thing i love so much? how do i quit and not teach my children the thing i love so much. my prayer request was for the pain i am suffering and the hip replacement that is now imminent. but i need prayer for the whole thing. i am always in pain and frankly my wife is sick of hearing it. i am 37 and hips only last so long and they can only do so many... for now i will still hunt elk next week then come home and face reality. thanks and GOD BLESS. MIKE July 28, 2010 I have myself a new hip!!! less pain the day after surgery than the day before without a doubt! i had an anterior aproach so through the front instead of rear. none of the same restrictions as when they cut the muscles when they go through the butt. scary letting them go crazy with a knife up front but well worth it. 4.5" scar and i was cruisin a walker around nurses station the day after surgery. i am 6 days post surgery at home alone and doing fine. AMAZING what can be done now. I fully feel God guided me to this other method of replacement and my surgeon who turned out to be big hunter and a religious man. Let go and let God and things turn out just how He intended them to be ya know. NOW I MUST SAY THIS... an anterior hip is not as commonly used less doctors are trained in it and he had never done one on a 38 yr old 6' 2" tall guy weighing 245#. i knew he was a little nervous yet confident and saw my situation as a challenge and when i saw his face after and it was full of pride in his work i thanked God immediately!!! if anyone has questions about this type of hip i will answer what i can and give you progress reports. I.M.O. i have no idea why every surgeon does not learn this method and put it in to practice. 6 days after surgery and i just got back from celabratory cold stone ice cream trip, yes i used walker but my bone pain and torn everything pain is 100% gone now just a little confused muscle pain but NO pain meds except at night to help get me some zzz's. thanks for all the prayers and all the support since i am a vet please pray for those in harms way now and those that are returning so messed up in many ways. to the soldiers we have lost i thank them and their families for the ultimate sacrifices they have given for our freedom and safety. God Bless, Mike Misker

You guys are horrrrrrible! i love cats but i find myself still laughing minutes after reading this post. thanks i needed this humor today.

man im telling ya its crazy i dealt with the bad hip as long as i did but if i hadnt i would have had the old style that just wasnt what i was looking for. i am just blown away that i havent taken pain meds for like last 5 days or so, how is that possible? im uncomfortable cuz muscles are twitchy and im flippin swollen but the main hip pain is gone!!!!! if anyone out there has this on their plate right now i say seriously consider an anterior hip and find a doctor that will match your activity level and age to your new parts. well thanks again for the prayers and well wishes...

i updated original post with hip surgery results

Well i guess you can just make some offers since it seems pricing boots scares people. I treat all leather boots with vasque nature seal for the leather before i wear them so thats what makes leather dark or kinda straeky looking. i buy it by the gallon and treat leather often for optimum performance and durability. ( it also collects dust pretty well! ) ***i will be having a hip replacement pretty soon so just pm me to reserve puting offer on any of the boots. thx and God Bless, Mike I had a crushing injury to r. foot so i have had to change sizes to accomodate really mad nerves and steel plate. MOST BOOTS ARE 14d... the slip on pecos with heel #1155 is 14b, i have a irish setter slip on flat bottom in 12eee + 14B+ 14D the reddish red wing pair with vibram sole and heel is 13d and the reddish danner flat bottom lace up is 14d

Through God all things are possible!!! i will pray for you and your son and the family. i know of multiple kids that have won the battle against ewings. Keep your chin up and keep the faith.

mssg sent

make an offer i want this monster box gone

I WISH I COULD HELP CUZ I SURE LIKE THAT KIMBER!!! GOOD LUCK TO YA

"ALSO NOT GOOD FOR CROSSBOWS" SAYS MY BLOCK WALL!!!!

Its funny how a week before i have had some fairly major surgeries that were i guess you can say elective since they werent emergent from accident but like the hip has to be done since it collapsed 6 months ago. i put this surgery off for last 9 months due to marriage issues and i was responsible for picking kids up from school cross town. SO now that its time to go through with surgery i ask myself if its time? is it really needed? is this the doc im supposed to use??? and God anwers me with me hardly being able to get out of bed since clouds moved in. YOUR HIP IS SHOT HE SAYS!!! NOW IS THE TIME is what i hear. someone advised a anterior hip (through the front) and i ignored them then the va screwed things up and pre op was not done so i rescheduled then took the time to investigate anterior versus posterior, posterior is regular kind of hip replacement. posterior cuts muscles and causes more chance for dislocation and a WAY longer recovery time. anterior you are usually out of hospital within 2 days. yes 2 days!!! full recovery within 4-6 weeks vs 4-6 months. so God has had his hand in this the hole time. so what a miraculous healing is not in this plan but im sure something good will come from this trial. plz continue prayer for my upcoming surgeries and my marriage also my stepchildren (i have raised them for 10 yrs) are really being affected by this separation. kids and i went snake hunting tonight so that was a good stress free 4 hours... Thanks and God Bless MIKE AND DAWN, kiddos= Ramon & Francessca ( Frankie)

I know this... I have not been the same hunter since the first time i saw a bear run full speed. If these things eat mostly things with no heart beat, no legs, or more than 4 legs why did God make them so darn fast???

Man it is good to see that so many people care for me and our God!!! Thanks for all the prayers for myself and my family. i am still separated but not divorced! i am having hip replacement in 2 weeks. gonna have little titanium and some ceramic for a hip at age 38 ugh. i am attending church full time, i am a helper in 4yr old sunday school class and was baptised on 13th of June. God is so good!!!!! thanks for all the uplifting comments and scripture. God Bless, Mike

LOOKS 2 BE A SWEET BUNNY SLAYER!!!

it better not have my initials on it!!!

i second what was said. i took a sheep down/over there and it was perfect for me cuz of accessability. you can get rugged but their is lots of trails for access. ps. enough to get lost on when you have sheep in the back of truck!

This is disgusting and i have always wondered how people who have nothing have so much to waste. Do they walk in to town naked? plz explain..

so was this your honeymoon? what the heck man you just got married!

with this in mind how about... "A CUT ABOVE THE REST" where we wrap only the best

i also vote for this one!!

"CRITTER CUTTER" so you have a few people show up with pets for spaying or neutering you could handle that..

how about 'NO FINGERS ADDED' just a thought!

YEEEEEEE----HAAAAAA!! god job. nice to see ya home.
