Hope they heal well guys.
I was SHOCKED at how long it took to recover from a good wreck on a bareback horse some years back. I drew a horse that won buckin horse if the year 3 years running. He had a bounty on him too, so all I had to do was cover & I was in the money!!
Ya..... Well things didn't quite go as planned. When I woke up they had to haul me out of the arena, but I refused to ride in the meat wagon. I woke up again in the hospital & cussed some poor nurse for trying to use scizors to cut my $200 boots off!!
Long story short, I SHOULD HAVE Listened to the doctor. I Should Have had surgery, I Should Have done p.t. but I didn't.
6 months later I could swing a hammer all day again, but it hurt like heck!
Now-a-days my back/neck is still crooked from where I lit. On my neck, shoulder, & right ear, with enough authority to turn my collar bone backwards, tear cv joints, & make popping my shoulder out of socket on command routine, & create a nasty lil stinger in my back/neck that comes & goes as it wishes.
I can pack a rifle, & meat, & heavy loads for short distances, but I can't wear a pack for more than 3 days without wanting to cry
So LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR! Being "tough" makes you old before your time.
By the way, I'd look into getting a zipper tattooed on that sucker

it looks awesome!
