Man, it has been a long time since I have blogged. Update, the Ranger hasn't been in the water this year. My last outing on the water was hard water, when I took an old friend ice fishing on Big Spirit Lake for perch. That was in February.
I underwent a tibial osteotomy, on my right leg (gunshot leg), April 27th, and have been healing up since. I had the surgery at Mayo in Rochester, MN and am under the care of Dr Morrey. The surgery was necessary preparation for a knee replacement. My right leg needed to be straightened before a knee replacement could be done. The hope is that the weight would be shifted enough to the outside of the knee, that I would get enough relief to put the knee replacement off for awhile. I don't think that is the case. I am putting some weight on it know with the aid of a leg brace. I have an appointment at Mayo 7-29-09, we shall see what is next.
So summer has been spent inside healing, I had a cast on until June and now the brace.
Fishing has been pretty good I am told. The muskie went nuts on Big Spirit a couple of weeks ago and some nice skies continue to be caught on Spirit and West Okoboji.
We have high hopes of getting up to Mille Lacs this fall with, with friends Rick and Shirley Dicus, but it depends on the leg, obviously.
So, it has been a real tame summer this year.
Hope anyone who is reading this has a good summer on the water, on Boji.
That is it from Boji Land for know.
