My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

You should try fishing for Northerns. Toothy buggers that run 20-36" and will cut a monofilament line like butter. Damn good eating, though, just like Muskies.
 
Bill, I thought maybe I would have broken the camera in your tablet, but just knew for sure Deejaaa broke it!! he's one ugly dude:hihi:

Looks like your having fun! Tomorrow is doctor day. Stay cool, take care.
 
Yep u r right Leroy, it looks good! Hope the doc trims a lil dead tissue off n says no infection, need to get it checked in two weeks! I be so outta here n headed for Diesel Cash, Marty and some new scenery!!!!!

My brother in law says walleye r VERY tasty Husker!

They are as good as it gets, easy to fillet with no bones.

I've had Northern Pike fillets without bones but don't know how to do it myself. Cripes I haven't fished in 20 years, gotta change that.

I've never had Walleye. I have had a black eye, Pink eye. Been given the stink eye, but never Walleye.
 
Okay all my friends, I been up since 5am drinking coffee and worry about my foot. Time for yall to worry a little with me. I finally get to see the podiatrist today. If the doctor says looks good and to followup in a couple weeks and take a few more antibiotics I continue my trip and will be very happy!!!! If the doc says it needs to be debrided every few dsys and u gotta stay completely off it then the trip is over.......I will need to go back to North Carolina and work with Dr. Ricotta my regular podiatrist to get it cleared up. Remember I have been thru this many times due to the arthritis drawing my toes up into knots! I have done everything possible to get this cleared up. It looks very good but we wont know for sure untill the doc takes the scalpel n trims away the dead tissue. On the good side most of the dead tissue has fallen off on its own and it looks like nice new pink skin to me, however sometimes it has a tiny opening under the skin and they have to cut it back open so it will heal from the bottom up. So if any of yall want to put in a word with the head wrangler upstairs I am dure it will help! Also cross ur fingers! LOL Appointment is at one pm this afternoon in Corpus Cristi. One thing is for sure I will be glad to finally find out how bad it is, its getting on my nerves being stuck in Mathis Tx!!!!
 
We're all pullin' for you Bill. Err on the side of caution if you have to though. We can all wait to meet you another time but only if you're still among the vertical.
 
Good luck Bill. See if you can get the good looking nurse to give you a sponge bath while your there :bad:
 
Healing thoughts for you. Definitely your health comes first, the road trip second.
 
Trips over... Very sad. So the deal is I was bitten by a brown recluse spider on my middle toe last summer, took forever for the podiatrist to heal it. It has flaired up with tiny ulcers twice since then, they healed easily in a week with the doc debriding the wound every 3-4 days. This time the hole is because the tip of the bone is infected, so need to take a slice off the bone to get rid of the infection called osteo myletis. Probably been a smoldering infection on the bone for a long time according to the doc. Need a operating room in a hospital in stay a couple days. Therefore just in case it goes south I want to be at home where my resources are maximised! Doc said ok to drive home, gave me prescriptions for serious kick butt antibiotics. Still got lots fuel plus 150 gal in horse trailer in Va. Ulterior plan, heal toe n go to Va n load up with fuel and go see the leaves change all the way from Maine to North Carolina!!!!! Gotta have goals n plans u know. Gonna beat feet to NC as fast as possible. Have appt with my Podiatrist in Lbton on Monday, his operation day at the hospital is Wednesdays so can be admitted on Tues and operated on Wed and if lucky discharged on Thurs. Then stuck in wheel chair, absolutely no walking till fully healed. Thanks for the positive waves guys, it helped, could be a lot worse! Gotta go get the rig ready for a fast, long drive. Gonna drive for 8 hrs n just pull into the first interstate campground I come to and do it again the next day till I hit home. Hey Pepp I am gonna stop in La for one last roast beef poboy!
