You know you feel bad..............

.....when it is Easter weekend, your buddies have tried to talk you in to going to the lake, and you are sitting in your business surfing fishing forums. I came back from 6 weeks of torture in SEMO in weather an Eskimo would love with what was 1st diagnosed as bronchitis then left lung pneumonia. This has gone on for almost 3 weeks and I'm keeping CVS pharmacy financially solvent with all the antibiotics/meds I have taken. I am yet to set foot in a boat all year. I did get mine out of the garage on one of my better days, hooked up the hose muffs, ran it for a couple of minutes (neighbors loved than I'm sure), cleaned out about 25 crankbaits that were hung in the carpet, respooled some spare reels and mounted them on my new Pinnacle rods for planer boards, then pushed the boat back into its resting spot.

I'm really tired of feeling like death warmed over. The weather report for next week looks like it will be a good time to get over this crap.

Good luck to all who are out there wearing them out. I'll be out there with a vengeance soon, hopefully. Thanks to all the Crappie.com members who have called and came by to check on me.

I so much hope you get to feeling better. I really enjoy reading your posts, too.

Hope you get well soon and get the boat wet and the freezer full.

I hope your feeling better real soon and back to fishing.
I'm in my second month of recovering from Shingles, worse thing I ever went through.

Dux ... I lost most all of last Summer's fishing to Acute Bronchitis, then Necrotic Pneumonia, then a massive blood clot in my lung ... so, yeah, I know the feeling. And thanks to all the snow & rain, it's been since Oct since I've even been on the water ... and don't look too promising in the near future, since I'm helping take care of my 87yo Mom.

I feel for ya, my friend ... and hope you get well & back on the hunt !!

... cp :kewl

Wow bad news to start the season Doug.
Get well soon and holler if I can help any.

Take care of yourself Doug and I promise not to catch all of them while you are out of action. [emoji14]

Get to feeling better. We all shall leave some for seed!

Dont feel bad Doug I havent been in a boat since Oct. Get well quick buddy

I'm with you Wilbur, not since Crappie camp at KY lake.

Praying that you get healthy real soon. If there's anything I can do, just give me a call. I'm down here for a couple more weeks.

I feel your pain, 2/7 I woke up with severe Sinusitis called doctor, 3 days till I could get in, 2/8 ear drum ruptured and even though relieving the pressure was a great feeling hit the 24 hour clinic got shots, antibiotics, ear drops etc.. 9 days and was decent got caught in a rainstorm a couple days ago and everytging is back not as bad, still waiting to see the doctor but have some coughing fits that almost end in vomitng. Cant sleep, If I lie down, the coughing starts to I gotta stay sitting. Have gone thru 1-1/2 boxes of tissues and wife is bringing more home tonight. so far everything is clear but I cannot hear very well.

Hope you win the battle before fishing season starts

This past Tuesday I was in Benton to get my oil changed at the Ford dealership. I thought I saw your truck at the shop when I first got into town at exactly 8am but you were gone when I got finished at the dealer. I ended up at Fisherman's Headquarters in Draffenville and talked with a total stranger about crappie fishing for at least 30 minutes. Hope you get better!

I'll Check you out in a few weeks...gotta make some money to come back down.lol

Take care of yourself and get healed up. The fish will be there.

Must be going around. I'd made plans to stay at Fin N Feather and had even been PMing with chaunc about getting out. I finally broke down and went to the doctor and they say its type A flu and had to cancel. Gonna try an give it a week and see if the fish are still cooperating. Sounds like we could all use a shot of apple pie instead of steroids. Does CVS have apple pie behind the counter?
