Surviving a gunshot wound

Maybe you're just made of better material.


That's what I used to make my pre-surgery pain more manageable. Then I'd alternate between ibuprofen and naproxen when it was really bad or if I'd get a migraine. With the surgery I had a few weeks ago, I can't take any NSAID's for the next few months...so it's Tylenol only, which never has helped with really bad headaches.

When I was younger I used to get migraines. I found 3 extra-strength Tylenols + coffee + sugar worked. Plus lying down in a dark room.

Glad you recovered OK.

It could be worse though. This guy took a (unexploded) RPG through the hips: With An RPG Stuck in His Body, Pvt. Moss' Fellow Soldiers Knew What They Had to Do - The Veterans Site News (greatergood.com)

It is amazing how much horrific trauma a person with grit and determination can withstand.

That story is beyond amazing. And the video! Just wow.

Approximately 2 weeks ago I was shot in the pelvis by a 7.62x39. By a miracle only one vein needed repaired. The x-rays look like I took a shotgun blast. But the structure of my pelvis is solid. I'm off narcotics already and am getting by on Tylenol and a muscle relaxer. I can gimp around, go to Church, etc. But can't get a straight answer on proposed recovery time.
It looks like target shooting and deer season is going down the tubes. I probably will be switching to squirrel hunting for this year except when my nephew or brother can go with me.

I wish you the best, it's never a good thing to be shot but you're still posting so there's that. Heal well and fast.

I am about 90%. My groin muscle on the affected leg is weak. It makes it difficult to climb. But I was able to climb a tree and cut it from the top down today. So I'm doing alright.
