Greeting From L M W

[LostMyWife]

Hello OA

Robbie and I are finally gettin to come back to do some fishing! We will be down the last week in August for 5 days.

It has been a rather interesting year for us. Especially the past 4 months. Seems I have been sick for a while and didn't realize how bad it was. In April, after 8 months of trying to figure outwhat was wrong, my doctor ordered the right test, after about 10 that were the wrong test, and I ended up at St John's Mercy at the heart hospital getting a surpise triple bypass. To make a very long story short, I am doing great, have lost almost 60 pounds, been exercising almost everyday to get my strength back and am sooo looking forward to getting butt deep in cold water to fish!

I plan on getting caught back up in here and being ready to fish when we get to Taney.

I can't believe the difference in the website. I also saw the "Best of Taney" forum. Now, with hundreds of replies in the thread, according to the new site, how is it that "I lost my wife!" did not make the cut? Jeez Phil, what does it take?

Be posting again real soon,

LMW

LMW! You're Back!

I haven't seen you since new years a couple of years ago. "I Lost My Wife" is the classic thread. By the way, it would not be a bad idea to have a vote some day on the most humorous thread on OAF. You got my vote.

I am glad to hear you are now a lean mean fishing machine. I will pray for your good health and might even see you on Taney this summer/fall.

Take Care.....Don May

LMW,

Good to see your mug again. I was wondering the other day also where you had went! Sorry to hear your doc couldn't figure it out!! That's a hard way to lose 60lbs!! There's a lot of us on this forum that need to listen to the "zipper club members" as Dano called them! Glad your back with us!!!

LMW Glad to see your report and your successful surgery. I've been there - have 4 stints as a result of my surgery.I give a big thanks to a great Surgen here in KC St. Lukes Hospital which I believe is one of the finest hospitals in this area for heart problems.

I exercise and walk most every day, unless I'm playing golf of fishing. Thats very important for all of us and my doctor always wants the weight down.

Keep up the good work. -- Rolan
