All the facts aren't in yet but there is a rumor floating around that he was playing with Michael458's Non-Cons.. Bear in mind that that only a rumor though.    Have you heard any other rumors about what happened to his knee?  NRA Life ASSRA Life DRSS Today's Quote: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

We also agree that everything below the neck has to go too - nothin but suet and cheesecloth there.  The rest ... Well we're not sure ...  Get well soon my friend!

May I seriously ask if Cal Pappas has been hurt or what the heck is going on? Need we be worried about a friend's well being or what? Opening post refers to messing with ammo.

Oh he'll pull through just fine. He'll be limping around for a bit though. Since he's so 'thrifty' I suspect that he's going to use those bone chunks for something. A necklace?

Why did the doctor take a picture of your bones? Proof of work done? | |||

I wouldn't let all that nice bone go to waste. There is plenty you could do with it. For example: . | |||

JZ: I asked to see the bones out of curiosity but the doc had to shoot a photo as I could not see nor take the bones. They had to go directly to the incinerator and not brought up to the recovery room. Health or whatever laws I was told. Grenadier: Good thoughts all if I was allowed to keep them. Cheers, gents.

Thanks for all of your kind words, gents. I have been walking from the afternoon of the surgery. It is slow but doing. Nick: I have two gents down under planning for July. I think the issue is either 1)hunting without a licensed guide or 2)hunting if I import the .600 for the Darwin shoot. Hopefully it will get sorted out in a month or two. Prior to Australia I will look at a vacation in Zim with a small amount of plains game hunting. It all depends on the rate of recovery. Again, cheers all and thanks.

I don't know anything about this!!!!!!!!!!!! And I ain't in no damned bullet business......... Anyway, if it had been a proper "NonCon" Cal would have been in a hell of a lot worse shape than he is! In fact, probably would not have been a leg there at all to photo graph.... But, those leftover parts do look like things left over from a NonCon........ LOL...... Speedy Recovery Cal....

OUCH!! 12 years ago, I fell on knee while climbing in WY, destroyed my ACL and did other damage. Dr. said I'd need knee replacement. PHOOEY! I became an addict of glucosamine (at suggestion of orthopedist), in spite of my cynicism ....and it works!! If I stop swallowing at least 1500mg/day.....pain returns. So, I am vigilant. | |||

Hello, Cal: I had the same chunks removed from my left knee in September. I began hunting in November, and next month I am going to the hills to take roe deer. I can walk now better than I could in the last five years and take an odd analgesic once or twice a week, if ever. Work hard with the rehab and you will be shooting again before the snow melts.
