Did a novice thing during the opening day of PA's rifle season. Stepped on a fallen wet branch and went down like I was shot. I tried to cradle my rifle and landed on my left hip. There was not any snow to ease the fall.

Results were a protruding disc at L4/L5. Two months to recover but not right yet. Not allowed to bend at waist or pick up something heavy. Lost back powder season also.

Wife had to take over more of the household activities also.

Maybe this entry will keep somebody from doing the same dumb thing!!
