Injury Report for September 2009

Douglas Duncan of Alvin, Texas has been home rehabilitating his knee & hip after going under the knife twice in on month. Douglas had surgery on his knee first and then returned a month later to have surgery on his hip. The injuries were on opposite sides & he would not have been able to walk so he opted to have them a month apart. Douglas has stayed busy hanging out with his friends & judging a few local bull ridings while getting prepared to return to the arena in November before heading to his second NFR experience in Las Vegas in December.
Jay Byrd Morrow of Wayland, Iowa underwent surgery on July 7^th in Dallas, Texas to repair some bone spurs/injury to his hip area. Jay was taken care of by fellow retired bull rider/CBR judge Layne McCasland where recovering here in Texas. Jay traveled home for a few weeks and then went to Pittsburg, PA to undergo a pelvic/abdominal surgery repair which had enabled him to compete. (Note: This was the same doctor that preformed the same exact surgery on World Champion Bull Rider, Matt Austin.) I talked with Jay the other day & he said that he had been working out trying to get back to compete at the CBR Finale in Kansas City, MO., later in October but things were going a little slower than planned.
Steve Woolsey of Payson, Utah got stepped on at a PRCA event two weeks ago & underwent surgery on September 10^th and will be out of competition until the NFR in Las Vegas in December. Steve thought he had broken his ankle, went & had x-rays that night and there were no fractures. He went back to the doctor the following week for a follow-up and was told that if he did not have surgery he would end up crippled the rest of his life.
Clint Craig of Mena, Arkansas injured his groin at a PRCA event in Washington. Clint plans on taking 2-3 weeks off and plans on being in Lubbock, Texas for the CBR West Texas Shoot-Out event.
