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.

think...

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. ;-)

you're on, chief. but the temps for the last 30 days would have killed
both of us...

I have
terrible hip pain, but they are not bad enough to require replacement.
I can not imagine how much pain one must endure before replacement
therapy.

About that much.

Hopefully the shots will allow me better mobilization.

Good luck with the shots. Once they only give you a day or so of relief, get
the replacement. I've not spoken with anyone who regrets it, and the recoup
isn't long. I'm really glad I had it done.

Tim, I can not believe what relief the shot has given me. It's
amazing, really. I had trouble with a shoulder a few years ago (my
casting arm) and had a cortisone shot. It helped alot and much of my
mobility came back. It has remained relatively well since. But this
hip thingy.... I was at the point were it was almost too difficult to
walk, but now the pain is all gone and I again have mobility in that
leg.

I went on CPAP theropy about a week ago and it too has shown remarkable
resuts. No more morning and afternoon naps, and I awake each morning
feeling 10 years younger. I can't wait to get to Lakewood on the 4th
and put all this new painless walking and refound energy to work. I
should be able to fish the entire day instead of a 1/2 routine of
fishing/napping.

Wonderful report, Dave. Take care of yourself. Lot of fish left to catch.

Congratulations to you and Jo on your anniversary. Give her my best
(along with the usual expressions of sympathy....) ;-)

I'm glad I dropped in to ROFF to see what the summer has brought. Great
trip report.
