Got the rod set-up Sun night... got the bag set aswell... Monday rolls around... 4am--- drive 2 work.... 12pm made a few calls as 2 who else was going to join me @2:30pm... 1pm hits... and i have the most freakiest accident you could think of.... long story short..... i had surgery monday night as they (surgeons) re-attached and repaired my index finger...

So far so good as far as keeping the finger... i'll know more on monday...

neways... good luck to you all may all the fish be large....


hopefully i should be ok enough to catch the fall action....

post pics n stories please...:)

Very sorry to hear that. I hope everything heals up for you.

That sucks. Couldn't have happened in january instead of now??!!! :(

Too bad, heal up soon. Maybe you can add fishing as part of your physical therapy....

Sorry to hear the news. Hope you heal quickly. Did the doctor tell you no fishing? Hopefully you'll be going before you know it. I found that during my leg injury doctors tended to give you the worst prognosis. For instance my doctor told me I was going to be on crutches for 12 weeks, and probably wouldn't be playing sports again. To make a long story short, I was playing hoops in 8 weeks. I wish you a speedy recovery.

leptar, thats a bad news, man. i hope it gets better and you will be throwing plugs and slinging eels in fall or late summer.

good luck - hope it gets better for you...

Leptar,
So sorry to hear of your troubles. Praise God for the surgeons and other Doctors and Nurses.
Will offer Prayers that you gain full use of your hand as time goes by.
As k your Doctor if you shouldn't maybe give your hand a soaking in God's Green Ocean waters while you get into therapy movements.
Good Luck.
Keep us posted!

Thats tough luck man, sorry to hear, go to plan b and start casting a conventional, you're thumb is ok right!!

sorry to hear the bad news leptar...I hope it heals well for you.

Sorry ta hear that man.....I realy hope everything goes smooth for you. Get Well!

Get well soon. We'll leave a few behind for you. I'm sure everyone here is wisking a speedy recovery.

Leptar, sorry to hear that, hopefully you will heal fast and be on the water long before the fall run. Best of luck!!!

That sucks big time!!! Try a eletric reel!! :D

that is bad news..... thats a very important line feeling finger....
.well sorry you cannot fish this spring but you could watch others fish just to make you feel a bit better..... just a thought.

ever heard of comfrey tea....it was called knitbone in the old old days....it has a compound called allantoin in it.....sort of a cellular glue that makes wounds heal very fast. Allantoin is a substance found within our own bodies.....so having extra quantities available is a Good thing. All wounds heal in time...may you have a speedy recovery.

Leptar,
Sorry for your problems. Alot of times things really look bad at the time,but you will feel better sooner than you think:)
Hopefully fishing will be part of your therapy.
Medicine is truly miraculous now a days.:)

OUCH!

Do feel better. Heal up for the fall!
