Title: Busted bicep blues.
Post by: yucca on December 06, 2008, 07:40:55 PM
Well I have been holed up for the last several days with a ruptured bicep. An injury that will require surgery next Thursday: oops. And an injury that prevented my team from competeing in the worlds contest. :cry:  Anyway my ole buddy Clair came and picked me up so I good get a breath of fresh air and to take my mind off my problems for a little while.

We were able to call one in on the first stand of the morning. She came in pretty fast and was about to leave even faster before Clair barked her to a stop and put a 22-250 round in her at about 100 yards.

We made about six other stands not calling anything at all. We got tired of fighting the wind so we called it quits.


Another nice sunrise:

Cliar and the only coyote we called in today:

We did find another cow skull:

Dang, that is going to lay you up for a while.  But at least you were able to get out and take some good pictures.

And I thought my rotator cuff surgery was bad.   :whew:   Can't imagine a blown bicep.   :shck:

How in the world did you blow your bicep out that bad? That sounds painful. I slightly tore mine when I was a kid playing ball and thought I would die.

Also, what competition did you get knocked out of?

I reckon I'm headed back to church tomorrow, so I'll say a prayer for ya.  :wink:

I had just put together a new tool cart to take to work. It did not have any tools in it yet so I did not think it would be all that difficult to load up in the truck. I tipped it over a bit to lean it on the tailgate. I started to lift it up and I felt this pop in my left bicep area. I went down to the ground seeing stars and feeling the need to throw up. When I felt my bicep I noticed it was flat as a board. My bicep is now located up around my shoulder blade.

I ended up tearing my distal tendon which is the lower (elbow) part. They will slice the upper portion of my elbow open.  Stretch the muscle back out with a pair of needle nose pliars then screw it into the outside portion of my funny bone. Then I look forward to 6 weeks in a brace then no telling how long in rehab.

We had to forfeit our spot in the worlds hunt in Cortez.
Thanks for your prayers.

That is my hunting partner in the photo. If I was as old as him surgery would not even be an option :biggrin:.
