We've had some really nice shoot'n weather and normally between the close and opening of walleye season, I get quite a little shoot'n in. Well not this year.
FIRST.......... I highly recommend that each and every person do something that he/she most likely brushes off. PROTECT YOUR EYES! One never realizes their importance and what would happen if something did go wrong, rather an acute injury or cumulative.
Last July while night fishing walleye, I noticed what I thought was a flashing light by the right side of my head. Long story short, old age and somehow had dislodged debris in my eye, which when light hit it, it reflected the light.
At the beginning of last month, floaters started getting abundant and within two days, I had part of my vision blocked by "something". Long story short, emergency eye surgery for a badly torn and detached retina. Four different kinds of eye drops, four times a day. Also had to set on the edge of a chair, bend my head down and look at the floor for four (4) hours a day. I was lucky and no buckle was added but, my eye was filled with gas, which created a bubble that you couldn't see through. After four weeks, I just was able to drive again.
Now I thought that it would be fun trying to shoot left handed. Well that got shot right in the butt, when the surgeon said "No shooting period, until I give the ok". JUST GREAT :x No lifting, no nothing. So I'm hoping after my next checkup, that he'll give me the "go ahead."
My Pro Hunter must feel like a red headed step-child about now
