Hip Replacements at 16????

**crazylegz70** · 10-19-2007, 04:11 PM

I just wanted to give some inspiration to all in the forums. I was diagnosed with a very rare disorder at age 6 called Morquoi Syndrome. This syndrome is basically a form of arthritis that break down ALL of your joints and causes various other problems. I have found an enjoyment in the outdoors that I might never of found if it werent for my misfortune. I have hunted with my father since age 15 and i thank god for every season i have with him. He has shown me many things that i will cherish forever. I have taken 6 deer since then and i am now 25. I have had 2 hip replacements and a neck fusion before i was 18 and I would like to thank all the people at Barnes Hospital in St Louis for their encouragement. I love bowhunting in illinois and i wouldnt trade it for the world.

*Still waiting for that big buck tho.....
