Pompano Update
I was asked to give an update on Roger. Pompano has been hospitalized in North Dakota for several weeks. It was brought on by an internal infection
and bleeding issue. It was very serious and still is but hopefully he has turned the corner and is mending, albeit slowly.
I visited Roger yesterday. He looked like he was on the fix, finally. We talked about the upcoming hunting seasons here in North Dakota, we talked
of Baja and of course his pretty nurses were in our conversation also. He is definitely feeling better!
Roger says to tell the nomads he misses the folks on the board, misses keeping up with Baja via the board and misses Baja. No computer fix for Roger
for the last month and it will be a bit longer before he is back online.
Please feel free to send Roger a shout out, hugs, best wishes or a prayer. I will pass written comments to Roger when I get back there later in the
week.
As I look out the window this early morning into the expanse of prairie, the flowers are still blooming in the gardens but the cottomwoods, ash and
elms trees in the shelterbelts are turning yellow and orange. Any day now the season's first killing freeze will come and officially end the growing
season. Harvest has begun and we busily dig potatos, clip and harrow pastures, move cattle closer to home and combine beans.
The lake is calm. It is quiet excepting the sounds of geese and ducks in their morning conversations. I wonder if they are speaking of family,
friends and community? Roger and I did.

Thanks Jorge......Roger is up front in my thoughts and I'll pray hard for his recovery.
Sounds like he could use an IPad or something similar ....just to pass the time. Hospital living sucks without a diversion.

Slowly but surely, that's how these things go. Long, bedridden hospital stays require long recoveries. But things do move forward, day by day.
Thanks for the update. Perhaps a few fishing magazines or a Zane Grey book or two will help pass the time during this recovery period.
Please let us know how I can help.

Thanks Jorge. Good to hear that Roger is getting better. Please let him know he's in my thoughts and prayers and we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Looking forward to his next post here. Hope "co-pilot" is doing ok too....

Tough news, but good to hear that he is improving
Someone needs to get him a iPad, even an ancient one
I resisted, the kids handed me one last month
and they had inscribed on the back "iDad"
It and I are now close friends.
Easy to learn, easier to use, especially in a hospital bed

One more thing Roger.
Try to lose as little weight as possible during the hospital stay. Eat as much of that hospital food as you can. Even when you don't want to. Even
when it tastes lousy.
Uncontrolled weight loss weakens the entire system and lengthens the recovery time. Could add complications as well.
This is from experience.

I developed a "bed-pan appetite" during my recent incarceration insomuch as I refused to use one. I literally crawled into a bathroom to save
dignity.
I've lost 30 lbs of excess baggage since the beginning of my ordeal.
I realize not everyone can do this for various reasons, but it's a good thing....for me.
Now....back to our regular programming.

Sorry to hear things aren't going well and hope your recovery is continuing. Get well and back to Mulege, it wouldn't be the same to pass through
this winter without a Pompano sighting.

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

How about if one of our friends in the Mulege, Conception Bay area did a drive by of the little bays along Conception as Roger use to do for us and
give him a little status update with photos?
Blessings on you Roger!
