manitoubass2 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 This time we managed fish! Basically I blew out my knee 7 months ago and im still on crutches. The urge was high so thankfully my mom decided to help by bringing a chair and carrying .y tackle down. A storm front was approaching so I knew we would get the first fish of the year! All in all we fished 2 hours, landed two small pike, 2 bass, 4 dink walleye and I lost a sturgeon, hahaha as if I could land it sitting in a chair! My mom had never seen one though, so she was blown away by the power and spooling. Just as we seen it she spit, thank God My lil girl also joined and had a blast! All in all a great day!
Moosebunk Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 Blowing out that knee put some grey in that beard too. Getting moving dood!

OhioFisherman Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 I hope you heal quickly, not being able to fish or do other stuff on your own sucks!
manitoubass2 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Posted June 10, 2017 I hope you heal quickly, not being able to fish or do other stuff on your own sucks! It sure does! But after some setbacks im full bore ahead! That's all you can do is put your head down and work hard to recover I'll be back fishing tomorrow ?
manitoubass2 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Posted June 10, 2017 Oh and thanks for the well wishes ???
Old Ironmaker Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) You have to get better man. We've talked about my experiences blowing out both knees and lost count at 10 surgeries. I might get my ass down to Toronto. I'm not saying the surgeon you had and the rehab folks aren't as good as down south but I am saying get another opinion Rick. 7 months for a reconstruction is not good. Google Teddy Bridgewater's injury in training camp in Minnesota last year. It was so bad they thought he might loose his leg. He's back on the field in limited OTA's a year latter. Even back in the day they put a 8" zipper and a week in the Hospital for just a MCL and a cast for 8 weeks same timeline and a 10" zipper for a ACL over the top reconstruction I was back to work in the Steel Plant after 4 months and 100% full function in a year. I would be seeing someone else just for peace of mind. I thought you were good to go last time we talked. I didn't even ask about the wheel because I just assumed, sorry Rick. What do you call someone that graduated dead last in their medical class? Doctor. Mom's looking good, no DNA test required there, you are definitely her boy. Easy on the Grecian Formula.

Old Ironmaker Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Where did that post go? I'll call you latter today Rick. There it is, weird stuff sometimes on this site. Edited June 10, 2017 by Old Ironmaker
buick14 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 The next time you head out, just make your mom play and land any sturgeon you hook into! Sucks about the knee, but doesn't seem to be stopping you from doing what u love . Good job man
Beans Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) I gotta differ with you Rick...due to a bad back and wonky legs, I can't stand or walk for very long so when carp fishing I sit...I can fight a 20 pounder and if no one nearby I can manage to net the fish myself while holding on to my 11 foot carp pole... Get well soon pal...I know only too well what it is like to have other people do my chores... Edited June 10, 2017 by Beans
manitoubass2 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Beans, I had a walleye rod, just ill equiped to fight an 80lb sturgeon. And yes, it sucks asking people to do things for you. Im hyped to do dishes hahaha. Basically my job now. And showering is a chore itself. As for the leg, the biggest setback was the femur break. Up until then I was walking pretty good, then MRI revealed that break and I was told to stay off it. Well that really set me back! Now it's physio 5x per week and im improving everyday. But I use crutches on unstable ground, I don't need to re injure. So the leg is fine boys, I'll be back to 80/90% soon. Now let's get back to fishing! I seen ya called OI, I missed it. I stayed up till 3am watching a wicked storm we had! Fun times!!! Edited June 10, 2017 by manitoubass2
manitoubass2 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Another 1 of your 12 # walleye?? Lol, not even 12"s ???. No big walleye in the river come summer dood. Only spring and fall. Summer is all dink walleye or sauger Edited June 10, 2017 by manitoubass2
GBW Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 My sinus issue has put me on the bench since last Mon and not sure when I can get back out again.
manitoubass2 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Posted June 10, 2017 My sinus issue has put me on the bench since last Mon and not sure when I can get back out again. Hopefully soon brotha! Get healed up! I was looking forward to going today but a drastic change in weather stopped any hope of that! 100km wind gusts, no thanks
GBW Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 I wish I was able to get out. I didn't even pick up my kids this weekend with all the hospital time and vision is to blurred to drive...
Old Ironmaker Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) My sinus issue has put me on the bench since last Mon and not sure when I can get back out again. I'm scheduled for sinus surgery in November, could have had it in July I said no way I'm loosing part of my summer fishing and Golfing, no way. Fought Sinusitis for well over 10 years off and on now it's on everyday and night. I have empathy for you Geoff, I share in your pain. It kept me up all night, feels like I'm drowning sometimes and other times it's like I'm eating sand. It sucks man. You get better too, what a crew we have here lately. I'll be 63 hopefully but you yungins should be spitin' nails and, $hin' lightning. Edited June 10, 2017 by Old Ironmaker

Some days I do fell like I am s$%^&* lighting... LOL! Thanks OI but tomorrow I go back in for another review and if cleared up and needs surgery well then I'm doing it. The blood looks each time looks like a murder scene...
Old Ironmaker Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 Whatever you do Geoff don't go on YouTube and watch sinus surgery, trust me.
GBW Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Whatever you do Geoff don't go on YouTube and watch sinus surgery, trust me. Thank you! I wasn't going to but now I sure won't. Edited June 10, 2017 by GBW

My goal is to shoot at least one round of golf this year. I start deep tissue therapy this week. Did this once before and it hurts like hell. Basically it's the crab meat halting my recovery, so they manually break it up with beating the crap out of the muscle tissue. Works great but it's not fun. Be lotsa epsolm baths in the next few weeks. My dad has the camper up on LOTWs right now, so hopefully the weather settles, and we to hammer walleyes tomorrow!!!!
