Quillback on the mend

[jeb]

Asking everyone to send good thoughts to Quillback. He had a knee replaced Wednesday, but is doing well. He looked good in the hospital yesterday and even fought his way out of there earlier than expected. But it'll be a while before we get another of his great fishing reports.

Hope you heal fast, buddy!

That's great news!

its a double edged sword. You heal quicker if you have it done sooner, but the hardware has a finite life. None of the surgeons like doing the revision work. A much more complicated deal with more problems afterwards.

my knees are good. I have a heel issue though.

Wishing you a speedy recovery QB!

We will be praying for him, hope the recovery goes very well!!

It's certainly a good time to have a knee done, given the weather.  Heal fast, QB, and keep on the rehab!

Great news, we've been needing some Big M reports!

Texted with him yesterday and he's in great spirits. Donna and I plan to go visit one evening next week. Will report back.

Hate to see a man down but this does give me a chance to sweep up any overstock of hot lures at Hook, Line & Sinker and keep QB relegated to online shopping at Tackle Warehouse. I don't expect any dropoff in his buying power there, however, since the hands and fingers are normally unaffected by knee replacement procedures.

We are also fishing Saturday and perhaps Sunday, too ... depending on Saturday's results and the weather ... and I have every intention of running all of his holes. Every last one. And I'm relocating all of the keepers to mine.

Quill...glad everything went well.  Here's to a speedy recovery!!!!!

 

PS:  you can practice flipping from a bed!!

I don't get what the big deal is - you don't cast or retrieve with your knees!  C'mon!  Get back out there!  In this weather you wouldn't be able to feel em' anyway!

Heal good man.
