Charles .... status report?

Jim

Let that be a lesson to us all.... never allow work to interfere with fishing.

How are things going for you?

Jim

I'm doing better, still can't work. The really bad thing is, to look at me, there appears to be nothing wrong. No cast, no splint, so brace, or immobilizer. Nothing! But the doctors won't let me go to work. Probably because I can't put any weight at all on my left leg... and I have plenty of weight to put on it! I've got crutches though, and I can navigate around the house a little better now.

Thanks for asking

Unless the work involves hunting! Then I'll have to reconsider.

Take care buddy, and drop me a line.

Be thankful you don't own your own small business at this point. I broke my leg and several other bones over three years ago. I had to field client calls from my hospital bed for two weeks (when I was conscious). I have a couple good friends who tried their best to cover for me, but I lost a lot of money and a few clients. I was in the office the day after I got home to pay bills and do billing. I couldn't walk, but... I did service calls for clients out of a wheel chair. I threw my wheel chair in the sidecar of a motorcycle I had at the time, and I put my tool belt in the trunk of the bike. I couldn't drive my truck, but I could operate that bike ok. I imagine I freaked out a few clients when I rolled intot heir office in ym wheel chair with my tool belt across my lap and then proceeded to work on their systems while standing or hopping around on one leg. LOL.

You want heart break, just watch many years hard work start to trickle away because you aren't physically able to do what you need to do. I survived, and you will too. In fact I have had some of my most profitable years since then.

I also learned that work isn't everything. Since then I have bought four boats and fished and started fishing bass tournaments and met a lot of new friends. I spend more time with family, and I make a greater effort to skip work for the kids various events at school, music class, acting class, etc.

I wish you a fast recovery and many rewarding years to reflect on your fortunes and misfortunes alike and the wisdom to learn from both.

Thanks again; and keep on making "Best baits ever created"
