Lots of nerves and pain is forecast. So no fishing for short time. No cooking my dead brain in the sun. I miss fishing when I cannot go!

Too hot and too many boats on the water this month. You picked a great time to have surgery and sit on your can. I just got off that boat and spent a lot of time looking at my fish pics from the last 3 yrs and reminiscing about al the good times had and big fish caught. Hang in there. The fish will be there when you get well...

Almost made not fishing sound good. Usually in August I catch all I want to catch before 10 in the morning. The switch from channel cat to spam not very fun either. Lol I usually reserve the spam for the sandwich in the boat. Most times I go in to Tiffany's depending on how far I am away from that next payceck. Retirement check much less than work check. My favorite pay cut. after surviving 5 strokes I believe in health insurance. A stroke could destroy your retirement very fast and I was never aware that I had a health problem. It was caused by a birth defect in my heart and the strokes started at age 52. I am buying much less boat gas sitting down for sure. So not fishing in August a good thing?! One bad thing is I got time to drive folks mad on this forum. Talking about fishing is almost as much fun as going sometimes like August.

You will be back on the water in no time at all. Like already be stated, you picked a good time to be off the water!

Get well soon if I can get u in the boat I will take u buddy

Bless your heart is all I can say. I had both feet done (separately) in 2012- bunions hammertoes and tendon reaalignment. Lots of screws and rods involved but glad I went through it before being crippled. Crashed the knee walker a time or two but survived. Good luck on your recovery.

Ready to get you in Stubby’s boat

Do your rehabilitation as instructed. That is the fastest way back to fishing.

Get well soon!
