Hope to be back!

Just got home yesterday from another hospital stay that was supposed to be done last month. They did another surgery on my legs and so far there has been much improvement. Much of the pain has been relieved and I'm much more mobile. Now to regain my strength and now that it's warming up soon I'll be able to get out and get busy on the boats again. At least I hope. It's been a horribly long year and am looking forward to getting wet again!

Welcome back Kevin.

Looks as if I have a lot of catching up to do.

Do the catching up while you rest up, Kevin. It's good to see your face again.

Yeap, and check out both the Starcraft and the Resto forum SOTY. Great nominees in both, and 2 really great winning builds.

Welcome back Kevin. The hospital - while full of wonderful folks doing great work - stinks

I hope the recovery goes easily and that you see tremendous benefit from it. I hope we see more of ya' around :thumb:

Nice to hear from you again. Equally nice to hear you are feeling less pain with more mobility. Take it slow and let yourself heal and recover. Then back on the boat with updates and pictures. Good to hear you on here again.

Thanks everyone. It has been hard to focus on just about anything as of late. With three trip to the cardiac unit last year and my legs acting up again I just kind of lost all interest. With the changing season and sunshine and feeling little pain I'm ready to get back to work and enjoy some nice hot fishing.

Watch some Blackhawks hockey and get better! Hope the worst is behind you!

Glad to see your on the mend Kevin. Enjoy the sunshine, spring is right around the corner.

Good to hear you're on the mend. Now we need spring to hurry up and get here so we can all get outside and get to fishing.

:thumb::clap2:eace::clap2::clap2::cheer2::rockon: Okay, time to get moving and working on the boat! Spring is right around the corner and the fish will be HUNGRY! Glad things are looking up!

Good to hear you're on the mend. I only know you by reading your thoughtful experience and input on this forum, but please know I'm with many others glad to hear you're getting back in action. I know what you mean about losing interest in other things during difficult times, as I'm sure others can relate to as well.

Take care,
Mark

I know! I'm not liking this mandatory 5 days off stuff... Anyway, glad you're on the mend!

Well tomorrow will be 1 week and I was hoping to be further along. All I can say is I must have lost a lot of muscle in my legs while sitting on my keister. these past months. Legs still get tired and there is still some pain but not nearly as it was. 1st follow-up with the Dr. is on Tues.

Started walking the treadmill this week and it's been slow going. So far I've gone about 10min before having to stop while today I made it 14min and was tired but the pain was much less. Goal is to get to 30min before I try and speed it up.
