I think I just tore my calf

[Blood Trail]

Man, hope you heel up, brother. I was looking forward to the GRXH.

I Guess about 1/3 of the hogs are shot in the river, so maybe I could river hunt. I'm still planning on going, but sitting at home missing my annual snipe hunt now.

dats gross

nah. ......that's actually pretty clean. Too some I can see how it's gross though. Some can gut and skin an animal in 5 seconds but pass out when it's human,

Hope you get better soon!

G, Sorry to hear this brother. Hope you heal up quickly. Hope your's can heal up without surgery. Tendons heal very slowly since the tissue is of a different mater. Sometimes surgery is not needed as the tendon will become thicker with scar tissue over time. But scar tissue prevails. And the possibility of tearing again still exist as there is not as much to hold on to the muscle as there was previously.
A boot will limit the foot's movement in the up position. There by allowing the calf muscle to go unused. When you raise your toes, it stretches the calf muscles.The boot limits the movement. You should still be able to do a lot with the boot on. As I know folks who have torn thier Achilles completely out. And and were able to still do most common things after being repaired, with their boot on till fully healed.

Glad to hear it wasn't a complete tear

I have been hobbling around without the crutches some today. By lunch it felt worn out. It felt heavy. I put it up for about 2 hours. I walked some in the last hour. I just took my boot off and my foot is swollen up. It is fat. I also have a kancle. Now it is up on ice.

Tore my calf muscle at lacrosse practice about 4-5 years ago. Felt like someone stuck an ice pick in my calf. The first thing I thought of when I read your post was the Granger hunt as I know you are looking forward to it. I don't know what to tell you to expect by that time, but you won't be running around. You still shoot that pretty bow I saw last year?

[stinkbelly]

Yes. I still shoot that bow. It is a Dryad Soothsayer.

Just wondering how you are doing?

I tore my calf on Thursday and good grief does it hurt. I saw an ortho Friday morning and he gave me a sleeve, crutches, and said to rest it. I've been icing it and trying to stay off of it, but that is easier said than done.
