Well, we are back from our hunting trip and it was a huge success in every way. For the most part, I totally forgot about my TKR. We walked about 5+ miles each day on uneven terrain with lots of sage brush (up to waist high), rocks, hard dry dirt and lots of soft sand-like dirt. The only time I really noticed my knee at all was when I had to shimmy under a barbwire fence - and even that wasn't too bad.
As for the hunt, we all got a jack rabbit. I'll post pictures/videos and such as soon as my son downloads them. Got to use my hubby's M4/AR-14 which was pretty fun!
The weather was gorgeous - 60-70 and sunny with some wind. Managed to avoid sunburns, too. Had tons of good 1-1 time with my boys (hard to get with teenagers) and not one argument or disagreement the whole weekend. When I got home, my daughter had cleaned the entire house and it was amazing! She even got me a gorgeous bouquet of tulips (here in Oregon, we raise the bulbs for daffodils, tulips, iris, etc. so the growers harvest the flowers and sell them in self-service roadside stands).
On the drive over the cascades and through the high desert, we saw several herds of antelope, elk, deer, and even some bison. Saw a golden eagle up close, too. And the scenery is amazing going through the mountains.
So I had about the best Mothers' Day ever and hope all the rest of the Moms did, too. And I hope all you Dads treated your wives to a wonderful day.
