Hey folks , a guy from the site here thats a good friend of mine fell 16 feet from a catwalk a coupla weeks ago and seriously injured his right shoulder. His name is Tracy Potter.I got to hunt pronghorns with him and his son last summer and hes a stand up guy. A good man to know in my estimation.
Theres some torn tendons and who knows what else wrong in there. He's going in for surgery hopefully, very soon . I just wanted to let folks know so they could get the prayers flyin for him. I'm prayin for a full recovery with no loss of mobility. He may have no shooting for a while til its healed. Lift him up would ya.
Thanks
Chris

Prayers for complete healing!
I've heard that name before... but don't think I've ever had the pleasure...
None the less, being on the tail end of shoulder surgery recovery myself, all I can say is that he's one lucky fella to have fallen that far and that be ALL that he got busted up!
Thank You, Lord for protecting one of our own. May his surgery go very well and recovery be challenging enough to make him appreciate when it all comes back to normal...and that he remember how fortunate he was and who was there to protect him!
wish him a speedy recovery :pray:
Thanks for the heads up Minuteman.
Hey Tracy,
Wishing you the best, I hope you have a speedy recovery and the strength to be back in the game by the time hunting season comes around.

Just talked to Tracy tonight, his hip has started bothering him as well (he landed on his feet); they're going to do some tests on that as well...
Tracy, prayers for you, hoping for a full and speedy recovery

God Bless
16' is a long, long way... :(
Prayers continue that any further malise will be minor and just take time to heal and get squared away.
Praises that God watched over him to have not sustained even more serious injury! Prayers for complete healing and quick recovery from surgery with no further severe complications!
Tracy,My prayers are with you.I worked high most of my life and never fell,although I was around others that did.You are a lucky man to have made it.May God bless you and speed your recovery. Ben

I was just thinking about You today Tracy. The company I work for Is doing the concrete work at the new water treatment plant in Lawrence. I made a couple of deliveries there this week. I was going to try and look You up next trip. Hope You recover quickly, anything I can do to help out let Me know. bretto
Vance, I am going to try to convince my doctor that Fly fishing in Wyoming sould be considered as part of my therapy.
Todd, I will be praying for you bud to win that sunbear on St Judes auction.
Thanks Greyfox and Stoneknife.
Thanks Brett, I will see if I can find ya. I'm not hard to find just look for the guy in the sling :mad: Surgery June 17th and I will be off for a couple of months so I won't be around.Sorry no bow fishing for me this summer or fall.We could still get togather and visit :)
Tracy
It will be great to visit with You again, send Me a P.M. after Your surgery and We'll make it happen.
Tracy's surgery was today; bicep tendon torn away from bone...they installed 4 pins and hooked everything up, he's at home.
6-8 weeks immobile, then therapy starts. Tracy says he hasn't missed bow season on 35 years, and he doesn't intend to miss this one.... :bigsmyl:
Prayers for a speedy recovery, Bud :pray:
Sure sounds like God was watchin over this man!
Fall that far and have such fortune. He's a road ahead, but with his committment to getting hunting...if he LISTENS for that recoup period..then hits it HARD... he'll be fine.
Big thing is finding that line between pain and injuring the repair work...
Prayers continue for God's mercy and speedy healing to continue!
Keep the Son in your eyes, Tracy!
Glad they got everything reattached in there Trace. Now the rough part, not being able to do anything. He's gonna drive his wife nuts!
I have been doing that for 24 years already Chris. :biglaugh:
