All I want for Christmas....

[greenriverman1]

All I want for Christmas it to see Christmas of 2010. Given what my surgeon has told my wife and I about my next upcoming surgery in early 2010 it is about 50/50.

On a side note with a little humor involved: Some 3 point defense by the Big Blue would be a nice Christmas Present as well. At 6'1", 232lbs of NOT muscle and I think I could bury about 15 - 3 point shots in a game against this team right now. Almond with 11 - 3 pointers last night for Sam Houston State, are you kidding me.

Prayers for you bud. I know it's been a rough go around for you and yours. I wish you the best.

You all have no clue at how much time I spend on this site and the other fishing sites that I am involved in. I really appreciate the comments and prayers. I talked with my surgeon today and it looks like February at the earliest now for my surgery. When he is telling me that of my 24 surgeries, 22 of them takes 5 years for the body to totally heal from them and I have had 13 of these in the past 26 months. He tells me that the longer I wait the better my odds and would love for me to wait until mid next year but I just can't wait that long. Tired of the feeding tube, tired of sitting at home and not being able to work, tired of watching my wife go to work every day and not me. Been working since I was 14 and never took a handout in my life but with only working 5 months in the past 3 years and it looks like it will be another 10-12 months before I am able to go back to work, not much light at the end of the tunnel. Here it is 5:30 and I have been up since 2am. Got right at 45 hours sleep in the past 25 days, yes, averaging about 1:45 minutes a night sleep. Pretty much tired of being sick, tired of bandages, tired of hospitals and doctors, tired of it all. Now that I am done with my pitty party, what I intened to say is I really appreciate all you fellas. Even though I have not been able to fish as much as I want the past 3 years, this site and the others keeps me busy and I love reading the posts. Thanks again and Bug, I hope all goes well with your upcoming surgery. Hope that it fixes all your problems in your back and you can live a normal life after recovering. Do what the doctors and physical therapy people tell you and heres to hoping all goes well. Prayers sent now and will be sent until you are better.

All I want for Christmas is for the Kendra, the love of my life, to enjoy life free of her chronic pain, and for Elnut and The Bug to get better.

Oh, if there's anything left over, a Shimano baitcasting rig would be nice

Why would you need a photo? Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Instead of Shallow Hal I think we may now have Shallow Hall

I'm pleased that you didn't take offense at my little barb at your expense. That one was just too easy for me to pass up.

Thought I was on E-Harmony for a second, not fishin.com!

Bug and Elnut, best wishes in all your upcoming procedures. Having worked in the medical field for over ten years, I have seen first-hand what you are going through. Hang in there and we'll be sending our prayers.
