Still looking for back seats.

Patience kiddo.  Been wanting to go out myself, but between the weather and the Christmas rush....

I suspect that's the same for most of us, since nobody posted a fishing report for this past weekend.

Ya, ya... I'm not a die-hard like some of you guys.  I like getting out in the winter - just not willing to brave freezing temps or winds.  Mid-40's and calm days are perfect for me (rain or shine).

Thanks guys! my hm# 253-854-8911   pgr, 206-540-6077

oh ps, also my first day of not having to pull over and lay down in the truck seat for 30 min., and walked without crutches.

Hang in there Virg!  Hope all goes well.  Take care of yourself big guy!  The fish will always be there.

Rich? Dude why didn't you contact me earler with all your surgical advice?
   I did have another surgery, the surgen heard "back" surgery, put me on my back and lopted off some parts!
   Being that I have worked trauma medicine for about 18 years now, (fortunately) I knew the trick about puting a big bold "NO" on parts you might want to keep, but there was not enough space to put a bold #1 let alone a big word like no.
    After surgery my back no longer hurt (it was the drugs, and laying down for two hours) so I peeked under the dressing of the part that did hurt, and bygollie the Dr. found plenty of room to write the word oops!
    Fortunately I was in law enforcement for 14 years so I will be able to hit what I aim for when I go in to pay the bill.
   In Short, I was going in to try and medically numb the nurve root ends to take the pain away which is a temporary fix at best, but when I got there we decided that I was in so much pain, and have been for 11 years, to try and kill that nurve in the spinal cord where it  was starting from in my back and going down my R leg. If we can take care of the pain than we might be able to stall the big knife down the road aways.
   Like I said...it was a killer, but don't really know how much was killed yet.
   The outside of my R leg feels like an eraser. (dead) My R calf. on the inside is very very painfull and more so if you touch it on the outside. some times I am not able to walk on it even with crutches.
   Pain scale from 1-10, before, 10 being suicidal, I was an 11 for 3 weeks. Now I am most of the time at a 4-5! What a relief!!!  at times goes up higher without the big guns.
   Now I will try and stay out of the ER for the big pain control untill Jan. the 8th when I am going to see the nuro-surgeon to see how bad, how soon do we need the big knife. With the pain I had I could no longer wait for Jan the 8th before I got some kind of relief...I  broke!
   ...And the sad part is I know how to play the hosp. and Dr. games to be seen soon! and it took 3 1/2 weeks! 
   I have always felt bad for and fought for the under dogs in the systems that don't know how to get through the game playing systems....times have changed!....Now I can't even do it for myself!  WHAT A SAD JOKE IT IS!
   Thanks guys for the concerns and ph msgs. I will be staying at the Dr. house for another day or so, than will be back "home" you can call my pgr. 206-540-6077
