TLDR - Sorry I'm no help with points thus far, I broke my leg.
Sorry guys, I won't be much help until (hopefully) towards the end. 4 weeks ago I started my "rutcation" with 25 days of PTO to use up before the end of the year. First day I was out and hunted/scouted for several miles on public. After not seeing much I decided to drive over to a different place to try. Walked about a mile, found a good location and was going back and forth between a couple trees to determine which one I wanted to set up in. That's when it got interesting. As I took a step forward, my toes hit the ground first and my heal went into a depression (shallow hole, low spot, whatever you want to call it) but my body kept going forward. Right when that happened, I heard two pops and ended up on my side. Hyper-extended my knee. After a minute or two of laying there, I didn't think it was that bad and planned on just taking my time and slowly walk back to my truck. As soon as I tried to put weight on it, I dropped again. At this point, I knew I wasn't going to walk out on my own. Pulled my phone out to call someone, but had absolutely zero signal.
I started looking around for small trees or whatever I could cut and use to make splint/crutches/whatever to get me out. I crawled over to one and stood on my one good leg to get started. As I was standing, I tried phone again by holding it as high as I could and toggled "airplane mode" which ended up getting me enough signal to get a pin dropped on map and send text to a buddy that has hunted the area before and knew the area. Of course he was at work and didn't get message right away. Every 5 minutes I would stand, cycle airplane mode, check for messages, repeat. 45 minutes of that and not hearing anything, I finally got a hold of the wife. She was half way to town to drop kids off, so by the time she got back home to look for a set of crutches we had from many years ago and get out to me, it was another hour and half.
She could only find one of the crutches, so she brought a wagon that she uses for the kids stuff while outside during the summer. I sat in that, used my one good leg to help push cart as she pulled it. Had to go about half mile this way until there was enough room through the timber to get my truck back there for the last half. Of course she wanted to drive me straight to the ER, but I wasn't about to let them cut and ruin my pants, LOL. So she followed me and I drove my truck home to change before she took me to ER. Ended up with two breaks on Tibia right below knee and also had a tear in MCL as well as LCL. Two days later, my leg felt like a water balloon that kept getting bigger. Had to go get ultra sound and they found blood clot down in my calf. Another trip to ER came shortly after getting results from that back.
Doctors don't think I will need surgery (which is good because I can't right now since I'm on blood thinners for the clot) but won't know for sure until I go back in a couple more weeks. If I don't need surgery, hopefully I can get back out after some rehab and contribute some points on the board, but no promises.
