Welcome aboard! You've found a fantastic place to hook up - you'll find much MUCH support here....
I am SO sorry about the deer/Hawg encounter ..... taking a wild guess it was a Harley (not the deer)..... ?.......
I'm glad to hear you've got a loving wife to help you get thru this and also glad to know you aren't afraid to cry. Chronic pain can reduce the toughest men to tears and it can also crumble a person from the inside out unless they have the right support team.
Try not to be overwhelmed by what you are reading about CRPS.....it's not a death sentence and you WILL get thru this......but it is crucial to have a good Dr and good support.
You'll be amazed at the comradere you'll find here......

PS: I noticed you are retired military......THANK YOU for serving our country Bro....
