Hello!!! This is Marinetropical

[hooked]

Thanks for the well-wishes. I F'd myself up pretty thoroughly on this one. Freak accident while playing hockey with the kids.

40 sucks.

The only good news I've gotten so far was that the damage was just to the bone and not to the cartilage, ligaments or other tissue. Longer to heal but hopefully fewer long term problems.

I figure I'll be on the water by June although I doubt the korkers will be going on 'til fall. To put it in perspective, as I was still on the ice, my second thought was "how the h*ll am I going to go fishing now?" (The first thought was wondering how I was going to tell my wife.)

Forget the 4 leg tournament, I'm just hoping for a 2 leg.
