Back Home Where My Ass Belongs!

On the 19th I went back under the knife for another major surgery, colostomy reversal, or colon resection, but In all reality, I was getting my ass back where it belonged! After a grueling 3 ½ hour surgery at Lake West Hospital in Willoughby, I awoke to the sounds of; "everything went perfect!" From my surgeon Dr. Boris Vinogradsky MD, FACS He further stated; "I am really happy with the results of the procedure, everything went perfect!"
That was exactly what I wanted to hear! So I hit the button and dozed off since the pain was reminding me of what I was in for. Hard to believe how fast time flies, and that just means I’ll be 100% in a very short time, and all over Steelhead Alley with a vision and a vengeance!
Thank you Dr. Vinogradsky! You saved my life and I owe you more than words could ever express! Probably the best part of the experience was learning that we share a common bond and passion for the simple things in life, and I look forward to our future angling adventures!
On Wednesday the 25th I was released back home from my stay, and today the 27th my 35 staples were removed. WOW!
Now let’s talk fish! My friends over at SAO http://www.steelheadalleyoutfitters.blogspot.com/ have been pounding the local waters hard in search of chrome for their clients, and even though things have been difficult for the rest of you guys on the water, they have managed to keep those clients smiling big time! Just take a look at the Chrome and the smiles and you get my drift!
Supposed to get some rain in the next day or two, so hopefully this will kick things up a notch and bring a fresh run of fish into the Chagrin and other tributaries. Stay safe out there and Fish On!
