Hello Team 57.
First off I want to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year filled with happiness, love and plenty of fish.
I’m sorry I haven’t been much of a participant recently because 1st my laptop screen has busted at the hinges and now the desktop that I couldn’t get on much because of the kids is now out of service.
I haven’t been able in the past 8-10 months to fish much because of the increasing pain in my bad hips and it’s very tough to move around in the dirt at places like Irvine and SARL. Doctor Hook was so gracious to able me a spot at my last trip out to Irvine, so I didn’t have to scramble too much to get comfortable.
(On that note, I wish Irvine could designate a flat area at several locations around the lake for folks with physical limitations. Maybe Daniela or Jimmy will see this.)
If any of you plan on fishing on any of the weekends before the week of Jan. 12th and you plan on renting a pontoon and would like another to help share the cost and have some more company, please contact me. I'd like to fish the Vine at least a couple of more times before my surgery, but I'll have to be on a pontoon or if someone can save and share a shore spot that is flat, so I don't have to sit in my car for hours, that would be cool for me.
I have my first hip replacement now scheduled for January 13, 2009 at San Dimas Hospital. Yes, you read this right…..the 1st replacement. You should have seen the look on my face when the doctor asked me, “So which one do you want to replace?”
I’m going to be 47 yrs. old in March, and will be waiting to replace the 2nd hip by the end of the year.
I’d love to hear any stories of any of your family or friends that have had good results from hip replacement, especially in my age range, because I hear a lot of the “you’re so young” comments, but when the pain alters your life, one must do what has to be done. My doctor says that I’ll feel so much better and be glad I did it.
Again…..Merry Christmas to you all.
God Bless.
