I'm home too with injury. I messed my back up again, well it pretty much stays messed up, some times just worse than others. Also I have severe tendenitis in my elbow. So bad that I can't even carry a coffee cup with out wearing my brace. Well my doctor just injected me with steroids yesterday. I'm not even supposed to be on the computer, but am going crazy watching fishing on TV. Fortunately, I think I may be able to get back out there in another 4 or 5 days... if my wife will let me!!!! LOL

This has been the first year I have been able to fish in the spring. IN my old job, the spring was always my busiest time of year, and I have always had to work the weekends too. I've already fish more this year than in previous years. I can't fish hard for more than four hours, my back gives out, and I have the root nerves going to my legs are pinched, and my legs lose all strength. I use my lean seat, and switch positions, but tournaments are really hard to consider. If I was by myself, it wouldn't be too bad, but with a partner it would not be fair to him that I would slow down so much after a very few hours.

Another thing that is killing me is that I finally can fish in the spring, and I have no job, and gas has gone to over $3 a gallon.... LMAO

Hang in there buddy.... both of you. If I give in and let the surgeons cut on my back, it'll be at least a year before I can fish again.

Good luck,

Danny
