I'm sure someone would like to accompany you just for the thrill of being there :)

Home from back surgery. Hope this works and a speedy recovery is in my future
Did you have a discectomy or was your spine fused or something else?

Let me know when you are over for your moose hunt. I have family over in Spokane and I will be back and forth hunting in the Spokane area.

L5-s1 fusion
:o :o :o
That sounds horribly painful! I turned down the fusion and am glad I did. The guy that was in the recovery room with me I talked to a year later and he had never played another game of golf.
My recovery was quick. I was back playing golf after about five weeks. Only regret I have is that I should have demanded they clean both sides instead of one. Now I have one leg that feels great and one that feels like it belongs to some grumpy old fat guy ;) I pack just as much today as I did 20 years ago.
One problem post surgery I had was extreme cramps anytime I fly or drive gravel roads. Had a few sessions of acupuncture and no more cramps! Not sure if it was the treatments or my body just not wanting more needles :dunno: Either way it's been great except the leg on the side they ignored.
Good to hear you are recovering well. I'd bet Bearpaw could have someone ready to assist in getting moose meat out of the bush! I'm sure he could give you cost and possibilities if you give him a call. If nothing else it might be a good backup plan.

Ya thanks. My recovery is going good all the things you said I am doing. Was able to elk hunt this month and hike. Still have to watch putting a lot of weight on my back, but sounds like my recovery is mirroring yours. Getting after moose next week is not going to be a problem and I have a few guys to help pack and horses available if needed!!!!right on man... the less stress you put on your back the better... i know hiking was just enough for me.. i had to sit an rest a bunch of times but and was sore at the end of the day.. nothing a few beers couldnt help.... glad both of us had successful surgeries that back is nothing to mess with... only problem is in like 15 years ill have to have another one on the next disc up... ...
