tjhunt2 Report post Posted August 9, 2014 My good friend Ilene Hailey, (aka lucky2hunt), underwent knee surgery yesterday in Flagstaff. Ilene and her husband Roger, along with their friend Mike Anderson, (aka cosninocanines) work on more water catchment projects than anyone I know. I just thought fitting that I wish her a speedy recovery. Ilene's passion for archery hunting is at the top and I know she is glad to finally get her knee replaced but she drew a 12 archery deer tag and I don't have to say no more how she feels about that as she lays in the hospital. The knee is definitely her #1 priority and there will be more deer tags in the future. Ilene is so deserving of your prayers and well wishes. I'm sure when she's feeling a little better she will be searching the forum here on cwt. Peg and I wish you a speedy recovery Ilene. Listen to the doctors and let Roger baby you. You'll be back up walking the hills in no time but for now just take it easy my friend. TJ 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4Falls Report post Posted August 10, 2014 Wishing you a speedy recovery. We don't know each other but I always enjoy what you have to say and appreciate the quality and aptitude you've brought to this wonderful website. Now that I've said all that... am I the only one who gets a chuckle out of a woman named "I lean" getting a knee replacement? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 11, 2014 I spoke with Ilene tonight and she reached the required goal of being able to bend her new knee to 90 degrees....that means she gets to go home tomorrow!! Congrats ilene! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
