Appreciate the well wishes. Once I'm done being "LOOPY" from pills,dont want to drive. i' m goiing peacock fishing, nice and easy. Being cooped up is the worse part. Tougher on my wife than me.

 

Best of luck SNOOK, hopefully you receive great news soon. 

I had a tumor removed in my arm in the surgeons office. He didn't numb it up enough. I jumped at first and said just do it. They were shocked I went through it not completely numbing it. I'm so use to pain. I watched him cut my skin and remove it. Golf ball sized. Sometimes we gotta suck it up and be tough. You should of seen the look on the docs and nurses faces.

Planning on fishing today from the bank, not strong enough to tackle the surf but that's where I'd rather go.

Good luck, and speedy recovery.

I have 5 herniated discs from a car accident 2 years ago. I had injections in the cervical as well as nerve eblasions (burning the nerves off the facet joint) and am going in to have my L5-S1 fused on the 31st, so I'll beright there with you recovering. Good luck, and keep mobile the best you can.

It's all a process, I have a tumor on L3, lucky for me it's far enough away from my spinal cord.  What was done to me was cement to heal my fracture.  I had never heard of that, but I discovered it's a common procedure for my situation.  I still have lots of pain shooting down my leg.  Yesterday I had a consultation with the radiologist (start thearapy Monday) day by day I should feel better so he said.   Doc said I was good to go when I felt up to it, I'll fish nice and easy the next few days, won't over do it.

I`m sorry to hear of your problems SS. Get well and don`t over do it to soon.

I am confident you will recover Snook, you are one tough SOB.  

No longer woozey from the pain meds? Good. Taking those are like dancing with the Devil. If you have to take them longer than a couple of days, cut back the dosage so there is no side effects. Anyone who has chronic debilitating pain will tell u, the pain meds dull pain they don't remove it. Good luck

BTW, at L3 there is no chance of spinal cord damage, the actual cord stops around T12-L1, there it becomes divided and individual nerves leave the facet joints, expect some leg symptoms if the pain or numbness starts going around your waist to personal areas get to the ER quickly. Praying for you.

Yup, I know to much about the spine problems, etc.. Prayers sent Snook.. Post some pics of those peacocks, Best Wishes..

Best wishes for your recovery. Enjoy all the fishing you can, hopefully it will take your mind off the other stuff and make things go a little better for you.

Prayers sent for a complete and total recovery!

Best of luck to you Snook.

I lost track of the days, thought yestreday was Sunday, just took my wife out to eat an watched PGA chanmpionship on TV.  Didn't really have the urge to fish.  Did get a few phone calls from my homeboys at he ocean, it's a hot bite, I"m not physically ready for that kind of action.

Get well soon man.

I think can speak for all of us (although I'm kinda new here) when I say we always enjoy your appreciation of fishing, as well as, your positive attitude.

Lol "homeboys" your a good guy snook. Ive known a few people that have used "alternative" medicine and it seemed to help. Again good luck.

I put my faith in my doctors and modern science, they have been thru it before.  I'll get thru this.  Last apoit. my doc wanted to know if I needed handicap parking permit, I said what for I walked in here didn't I.

That's the attitude, man.

Good luck my friend.  Rather than a handicap sticker, you need to find an old retro "Keep On Trucking" bumper sticker!

Went to the ocean this morning, gotta admit too much for me.  I nearly fell twice, leg gave out, lucky to catch myself, glad no rod with me.

The fish on your stomping grounds are breathing a sigh of relief.   Here's hoping their relief is brief.  Take care and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
