will be nice after a few weeks to just be able to stand up and walk without constant fear of tripping over legs and feet where the nerves arent gettin the movement messages through.
stitches, bruised bones, black and blues and an elbow open to the bone trying to fish in the SR last year  lol---was never gonna stop doin what ya do.

wouldnt know half of you if I bumped right into ya but I do know we have formed some great and valued internet friendships

spinal fusion a few weeks ago went 110%-couldnt be happier to this point- Dr says all good stuff too.
OF COURSE immediately after got some kinda bacterial infection on lower legs ankles  and feet that is making me crazy
enough pain and discomfort to totally make ya forget the back issue
looking foreward to some semblance of normalcy
If I was some kinda hypochondriac this would be OK but am not and about at my outer limits about now   lol

If anyone recalls, this project started exactly 2 months ago today.
Very very close to move in and a long strange trip its been.

You are the busiest person I know

Its looking like I'm ready for some fun stuff.
Haven't tied a fly in 4 years and thinking these should still fish.
