I return to my job for the first time since November 30th, on January 25th, believe it or not I cannot wait. No surgery will be required, yippee! He told me that the blood that runs through my veins (being Sooner blood) is what has pulled me through without ANY fishing or outdoor adventures. I hope you all are doing as good as you can with the wacko weather conditions ALL OVER the country right now. I sure enjoyed that -5 wind chill last night and 4 degrees we had, whew! Hip will be fine, thanks for all your thoughts, and well-wishes...I'll be back on the water soon, and hopefully in the thick of things!
