Garry, Surgery went well. Matt is up and about, doing his in home PT and check ups. All signs are pointing in the right direction. Back to work a little and working on guns cases. In good spirits and happy to have a "straight" leg.

Thanks, Dean, for the progress report. Tell that good brother of yours that a couple of days ago Dean Weber and I logged just over 10 miles in the MN grouse woods with 3 artificial joints between us. Unfortunately, those joints don’t make you a better shot

Hello All, just an update on the knee! It is going GREAT!! No more pain, range of motion is really coming up fast and for the first time since a wee lad, the leg is straight!! I am back in the basement working on cases because I can now go up and down the stairs (only 4 times though) I had been in England for 12 days, came back to the States, then had the knee surgery, and now two weeks later I am back at it. Currently there are now 29 case in the basement that need work or re-doing.
On the sad front. I talked to Dean Hanson this morning while he was heading up to Northern Wisconsin to go grouse hunting. Sadly I am not going this year.... DR, PT and my wife allll told me to stay home and rehab so that it what I am doing. my 16 ga VH is weeping in the corner... Well that is all I have on the knee front. Hope to be back on the bicycle in about 4-5 weeks. Thanks for all of the support private messages, and the thoughts on this site. Don't forget to buy a raffle ticket form me at Pheasant Fest 2025!! Matt Hanson
