Great report and Pics Mike,

 

I to have had t0 live through the fears of being diagnosed with TC. I've had several doctors do all kinds of examinations down there!..

 

Luckely, I've had positive out comes both times. I did however have to go through two opperations, but no TC.

 

I'm sure things will turn out great for you!

That dog was probably lost but happy as a clam in good company.

 

Sounds like you are in good company as well. Many positive wishes.

Good Luck MJL. The steelhead will still be there year after year when you are up and running again. Stay positive and keep your head up.

Thx for the fish porn Mike. Always enjoy you pictures and words. About the other stuff, hang tough. If "C" is the worst part of it then I hope for you to have the same recovery as my brother. He went through it at 24 and had his second child 2 years afterwards and hasn't looked back. Good luck with whatever comes your way

All kidding aside.

ps - What's "Down & Dirty"?

[Dozer]

You probably pulled a nut muscle wading around and hook setting every friggin' steel in the river.

 

I hope the best for you buddy, get out and fish!

[ChrisK]

Sorry to here about your condition Mike. Like others have sad here the rate of recovery is quite high for this condition so keep hitting those rivers and doing what you love. I'll keep you in my thoughts every time I hook up and send karma your way.

[kerr]

[splashhopper]

Prayers from london Mike.

Jessica and I send our intentions your way from the Rockies.

 

Great report bud, look forward to your adventures on the ice.

Thanks again guys for the incredible support you’ve given me - I truly can't express my gratitude towards the whole OFC community. I spent the last couple hours replying to all the PM’s I could and will continue to do so for as long as they come – I’ve even been informed that one angling crush of mine (and many) has read this thread

 

I sneaked a few quick looks at the ultrasound pics but as someone who hadn’t taken biology beyond the twelfth grade, one fuzzy blob looked exactly like the next fuzzy blob. I’ll have to continue my wait for a diagnosis

 

ps - What's "Down & Dirty"?

 

It involves the careful and deliberate attempt to manipulate rod angles (while fighting strong, powerful, or out of control fish) so that hooked fish will mysteriously (and magically) swim right to the rod tip...So that you can pounce on them...Especially if it’s a fish worthy of a hero shot

[irishfield]

Remember Mike.. no matter what old protocol was, you have every right to see your entire file and scans. We have copies of Jen's MRI's...

Rick told me of your post.

I can't imagine how frightening it is to go through what you are right now. However, you sound like you have a good support network. Don't hesitate to lean on them (or us).

Also want to reassure you that if you do have the surgery...No difference afterward

Sending Good Karma waves you way!

[mepps]

Great report man, and keep positive!

[solopaddler]

Just saw this now. There's no doubt in my mind you'll be fine, stay positive bud.

 

For what it's worth a prayer has been sent.

 

If and when you're ready for some more chrome I have a special place that I think I need to show you.

[TJQ]

I cant believe I missed this post.... Ill put a load of Karma in the wheelbarrow for ya!! Good luck!

[cwpowell]

Praying for you my friend.

[wallacio]

Hi Mike,

 

I'm really sorry to hear about what you may be facing. I have every confidence that you will beat it and will be back doing battle with chrome bullets before you know it.

 

BTW, I'm glad to hear that you and your buddy found a few! It's a great river huh?

[bassnass]

Thanks brother - stay up!

[Dusky]

Wishing you all the best, you will be in my prays dude.
