deershooter Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Just a short post about pain!! some on here might know what I have been through in the last 3 or 4 years others will not most women are always moaning that men suffer too much with pain and they dont know what pain is. Well try this I have had both legs removed below the knee the first one with no pain relief I was hooked up to the morphine drip but the hand controller was not attached properly 2 paracetamol the next day then nothing the next one I did have morphine during the night but soon got rid of it the next morning no paracetamol at all just grin and bear it Did it stop me shooting NO . clay shooting deer shooting and foxing Pain is some thing that can be controlled its mind over matter it can not be removed but can be controlled by positive thinking and doing other things yes it did bloody sting, and it still hurts now but doesn't stop me working 50 hours a week, the only thing I am not very good at is **** kicking Deershooter Edited February 29, 2012 by deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john12 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 my hat is off to you sir. I too suffer with type 1 and it often scares the hell out off me to think i may lose a limb to it. The way you have just kept goin and more to the point kept shooting just shows me what you can do if you have the correct atitude. Just hope if i ever find myself in the same situation i face it in the way you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I admire your attitude. All the best with the recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 libs Thanks the recovery is well on the way I now walk with no sticks or frame in fact if I were to wear trousers you would not probably know I had lost my legs however mostly I wear shorts as it is quite difficult to take trouseres off and put them back on withy your false legs by wearing shorts you can easely take your legs off with no problem . Both legs go on at 7am and dont ever come off untill 1130 pm when I go to bed .The main problem is getting a set of legs to fit properly the first set my stumps shrunk quickly so they didnt fit after 7 weeks the next new set have never been right I now have another set being made now Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning 425 clay hunter Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Well mr deershooter if I had a hat I would take it off to you sir. Ive been feeling pretty down recently as I was made redundant nearly a year ago and am finding it so hard to get back into employment and it's not for the lack off trying it's starting to get me down a bit. To add to that I've been so skint I can't renew my club membership at the minute and to top it all off on Saturday while driving on the motorway one of my con-rods decided it has had enough of being inside the engine and decided to make a break for it. Unfortunately for it, it only made it half way through the sump. I don't in any way mean this to sound condescending or disrespectful but my problems seem pretty insignificant compared to the loss of 2 limbs. Respect to you for making the best of it and showing real mental strength in the face of adversity(and a sense if humor) and still getting out doing something you love. ATB for the future, 425 P.s thanks for the explaination Edited February 29, 2012 by Browning 425 clay hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
