Well fellas after (4) weeks this Friday of not posting, I am back in spirits to start posting again. (4)weeks ago I spent two days in the hospital with very serious back & chest pain that just came on unexpectedley, come to find out after a series of test were done I have two herniated disc in my thorasic and I have been in a special brace that covers my whole chest & back since then, it's called a TLSO, they also have me on several meds. I have (2)more weeks to go before they redo the MRI to determine how it's healing and for how much longer I have to where the brace. Originally they estimated 6-8 weeks, I am hoping that stays true. I dont know what is going to be my status by the time the tourny comes around, things are just to uncertain right now. I am trying to be as positive as I can so I will remain hopeful that I will be able to participate, when it comes time to being realistic it's more likely that I will not be fishing the tourny or this summer. I will keep you guys posted
