[QUOTE="shortmagshooter, post: 1821910, member: 39358"] I am a army veteran but did not loose my leg in combat. I was involved in a firearm accident and was shot through the knee with a 155 gr hornady hollow point. Blew inch and a half hole through the leg severing the artery. My son a Sargent in the us army saved my life with a improvise tourniquet. Three hours in tourniquets helicopter flight to trauma center they salvage my leg but after eleven months of hell it finally had to be removed. I'm currently in a veterans hospital rehabilitation center learning to use the prosthetic but cant help but think about getting back to the mountains. I backpack hunted for years and thinking about not being able to return is depressing. I'm optimistic I will get life back but wanted to reach out and hear if anyone else on the forum had been through this. [/QUOTE]
