Sounds like you are lucky to to still be here. Just think that just a few years ago we would be saying prayers for your soul. You should feel a great relief soon knowing that all is flowing well. It sounds scary what you went thru. Take care and let yourself take the time to heal and we will be looking for you soon.



We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

Oh baitcast - You are so wonderfully blessed by your own insistence that something was wrong and by your doctor's diagnosis and quick action.

I know the pain is not fun, and I'm sorry for that. But I'm delighted to know you will be around for some good time to come. I rather enjoy those fishing tales you tell.

Get better each day until you're healed.

Prayers to you for a very speedy recovery, and sorry that you had to go through that pain & hospital stay. Our paths will cross someday if it is intended to do so.

Hang in there amigo. I got 13" of new trophy scars last year with the removal of about 2 1/2 pounds of cancerous junk. It hurt a lot at first, a year later I can hardly remember that discomfort.

Here's the upside for you. Heart disease doesn't metastasize. Live like there's no tomarrow.

Your survival, baitcast, is a good omen.

You now owe it to yourself to make the most of your coming years. I'm expecting an annual fishing report from BOLA from you each year now. You can start planning for your first trip as you convalesce. The roosters are waiting ...
