Although I call the Rapid River my "home" waters, it takes me about 3 1/2
hours to get there. It's a boring drive, one that I have made innumerable
times. However, for my third trip to Lakewood this year I brought Joanne.

What else does a sick old man need besides great fishing, a wonderful
wife, and a rocking chair on a cabin's porch. Maybe a see-through? With
an olive. d;o)

just really good stuff, louie. sorry to hear about your health. i've
just been diagnosed with "peripheal neuropea"(sp?), specific to feet and
lower legs. can't walk more than about 250 yds. the hip pain i had been
enduring was greatly reduced by prednisone, but you have to be very cautious
with the damn stuff. i had to undergo withdrawal therapy that was far worse
than the hip pain.
i'd go with something motorized, but the nc parks and the national
properties won't allow them.
that's all right, by god. i've got kick ass memories.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. You're the old
stallion who was rode hard and put up wet. Bless your
heart.

They had me on that prednisone **** for a couple of
years. I ballooned up to 242 lbs. and looked like the
goddamn Pillsbury Doughboy. I told them that carrying
around that much weight was gonna kill me quicker than
the damn disease it was meant to cure and made them
taper me off of it. I'm down to 215 now, still doing
the rest of the chemo cocktail minus the prednisone
and I've been in partial remission for the last six
months. (knock on wood)

If I get down that way I'll dump you in a wheelbarrow
and push you up Hazel Creek myself. You just tell me
where you want to fish and I'll dump you right there. ;-)

Don't we all? For your neuropathy -- I take a couple of neurontin
pills a day to stop the pain. I have it all the way from my toes to
mid-way up my leg. That's why I'm constantly pulling a Reid.

And get your scrawny ass up to Lakewood with me. With all your money,
counselor, you can affort two or three weeks.
