Damn, keep us posted.

 

Yeah pretty sure it’s a blown up disc might be a broken hip ain’t no fun either way. Mom marched around for a week on the broken hip. I may be in the same boat. daughter says going up to visit Mom there anyway I can just come by and get you. hell getting old.

 

Best of luck. Prayers your way.

 

Puffin the other day I was gimping around on my broken knee when I had some trouble getting my legs in the car to take the Grandkids to school. When I got home I got out of the car took 2 steps and ended on my stomach. I crawled up our drive way on my knees and elbows and into the house. I got to the hospital and after tests found I had passed a kidney stone. Brutal and felt just like I had a hip fracture. Your urinary track goes right up over the lower hip region.
Wish you all the luck and I hope it is not as bad as it seems. May just bee a pesky little stone.
Keep us up to date on what is happening.

 

Damn, hope it's something quick and easy so you're back at it soon. Yes, getting old sucks but keep us informed.

 

I was reading an article a few weeks ago. It summarized medical coverage, access, and attitudes. Men 50-65 (of which I am one) are three time more likely to have coverage compared to men 18-25. We are three times less likely to seek out medical care as compare to the same group. Best wishes on a quick recovery.

 

That sucks John, they will get you fixed up. Just view it as a tune up, we all get ‘em.

 

Just finished up an ER gotta take a ride to the MRI soon as I can get it scheduled thank you everyone for your concern

 

Thoughts and prayers! 🙏🏻

 

They didn't just take you down there then..if you've been having hip pain and it needs replaced..I did both of mine 5 weeks apart..best move ever..I suffered for 10 years..hope its something minor John..good luck..do what they tell you..

 

OK which is the worse hip, knee or shoulder. I need 2 out of 3 so I am a little curious. I have heard hips are not that bad. I have had 2 back surgeries and they are now saying no more or will cause more problems than worth it. Be careful Jon these old medicine men like their money. I guess when we become crippled it's time to do something. You sound bad not being able to stand or walk. All of us may need to pony up and get you some pizza's delivered for the next month or so.

 

Dang, sorry to hear that Puffin. You got the best part of this season done already. Hope they get you all fixed up and feeling better for next year.

 

I've heard from folks it's this order of worse..shoulder bad..knee not to bad..hips are easiest..the sooner the better..if you need em..

 

Back’s been done once shoulders been done once doc says I got a new knee on the shelf when I get tired of wrecking this one.
Shoulder sucks, because you get to live in the recliner for three months you can’t sleep in a regular bed

 

Hey Jon, one positive thing to the situation---- the fish are probably happy that you are on the sidelines You can give em hell when ya get fixed up.

 

What ever they propose, make sure it includes being fully healed by May. I'll be talking to you in the meantime. Take care!

 

I know the only problem with that plan Don is. I have a nine month old black lab due for about 60 plus days of duck hunting this year. probably not gonna work out real well. I don’t understand it. I’m 65. I go like I’m 35 and I heal like I’m 105. The doc asked me what the limit was on them tuna. I told him 25. And you haven’t lived till you gone out and caught a limit by yourself. I’m surprised he didn’t roll me right to the psych ward.

 

Sorry to hear that, Puffin. Wishing the best for you!

 

Just get better Jon.

 

If the kids want to take you to the vet “for a checkup,” don’t go.

 

our saying is look at the beautiful sunset. if you’re not ready to go duck. because the flat shovel is coming at the back your head

 

hope it's nothing serious and you're feeling better soon.

 

I know what if feels like, and I'm 8 years older. It's like I hit my experation date this year. But I"m back, if at a slower pace. I have zero doubt that you will be too, we just need to make an adjustment or two as we go along. F**k aging gracefully.

 

You had a shoulder replaced? Curious to hear your tale on that one. I have two crappy ones and someday will have to go down that road, but for this gym boy it'd be a life changing event, so putting it off until I can't move. Right now my biggest limitation is range of motion, or the lack thereof. I have to be careful which weightlifting things I do at the gym to keep from aggravating them too much, otherwise I get around pretty good.

 

Hopefully you've already figured out fixed bar bench press is very tough on your shoulders..dumb bells are much better..they allow your shoulders to move independently and find that spot that works for each shoulder..each one has a different sweet spot.

 

Wondered why the crabbin got better. Then I saw your gear stacked behind the boat. Get better soon so you can hunt on sumbitch ridge this fall. I'm there most weekends. Let me know if I can help over at fishcamp.

 

Hey My gear is still in the water. Feel free to run it and pull it for the season if you want I’m obviously not going to be able to. It’s either sacrificial or somebody else pulls it for me. Thank you.

 

I'm just being a smart-as* here as that's what I am. Please take no offense as this is just an attempt at my warped sense of humor.

But....

Would a Seakeeper have helped negate some of these problems?

Hope you heal quickly. I'm looking at the hip thing. Would like to to by-pass the steroid injection step and just go for new. I've already done the PT step.
