opening day

Opening day is one I will never forget. I almost died.
My son shot his first velvet, a basket 8. Also first one on opening day.
Meanwhile I was in my stand puking my guts out and crapping blood.
Get back to hotel and i have a seizure an off to hospital by ambulance.
Thought sure I had Covid.
Turns out I had an upper GI bleed (bleeding ulcer).
My shoulder had been bothering me for a long time and I had been taking advil like it was candy for months.
My normal meds include Plavix, a blood thinner and a baby aspirin.
Docs tell me that combo is like putting a volcano in your belly.
Almost back to full health. Hope to be back in stand this weekend.


Good thing you got medical attention when you did. Hope you have a speedy recovery.


"Apathy is the Glove into Which Evil Slips It's Hand", but really, who cares?

Thanks. If my son was not there it might have been the end.
Feeling very good today


Hunting, fishing, and poker are my sports. Work when necessary.
