Surgery today.
 

Well, I survived what should be the last major surgery on my jaw today. 4hrs under the knife and I'm back at the hotel now. We will be heading back to Lake Charles tomorrow to recover. I can't wait to heal enough to get back out on the water. Hopefully the wind will stay down a few more days.

Damn that must gave been a hell of a surgery. Good luck with the recovery

What kind of jaw surgery?....if you don't mind me asking.

And a speedy recovery to you sir!!!

The first surgery was about 6 hours, the second was about 8.5hrs and the 3rd surgery was 12.5 hours. Today seemed short at only 4hrs. The Drs had to remove 1/2 of my lower jaw due to an infection that started inside the bone. The reconstruction is now complete and in about 4 months I will be able to get my teeth back.

Dang!!!!! That's a lot of surgery! I quit dipping about 3 weeks ago to avoid losing my jaw some day. Again speedy recovery to you.

Glad you made it through good Paul! Hope your recovery goes quickly,we got fish to catch!

3.5 weeks for me. Saw my gum line after a year of dipping and said to hell with that. Been getting a pain in my lower left jaw..hope its nothing.

hoping for a quick recovery for you sir

Speedy recovery to you !

[QUOTE=Will"E"Fish;261181]Speedy recovery to you ] x2 God bless, thats a lot of surgery for a jaw! I bet you'll be eating through a straw for a while!

I don't dip and the smoking stops next Tuesday. The Drs have said the infection had nothing to do with smoking and there were no tooth issues. The infection started deep in the bone with no apparent cause. I'm going to give Chantix a try, planning to see which one will kill me first, the smoking or the cure. ;)

Good luck with quiting the smokes. I quit a few days after the tuna trip in feb.The big jacks and tuna made me realize how quick I got winded :D Smoked a few here and there while drinkin a few cold ones. Going on 5 weeks without a single one cold turkey. Not easy,but it is worth it.

Been there done that. Haha

@ Ryan, next week its on if you don't have a job yet.

I filled out over 50 resumes,I give up for now..lol Been years since I had a vacation going to the mountains for a week in two weeks. Anytime before that Im game for anything! Surf should be getting good as soon as the wind dies.

@Ryan, Surf, Jon boat or river, I'm game. Probably the first part of next week.

Paul, dude, sounds horrible! And for no reason?? Expecting to fish early next week?? You more of a man than I, for sure

I don't think so, I remember you on the tuna trip with Capt Josh. We all thought you were about to die and you were still catching fish. U Da MAN! U my Idol!

When I grow up, I want to be just like you TIM. :D

Whenever you feel up for it im game,give me a ring.

Hope you have a fast recovery Paul!!! Sitting here watching this dang wind pick up. Was fixin to head out to go fish, and this fricken tropical storm crap pops up.:pissed:

im on day 4 dude, its not that bad, just stay occupied....i find that first thing in the morning, 430/5 am, i get up and eat a good breakfast. No coffee, and hit the gym. you should be medicated for recovery so that should help ease the temptations....


also see that you have an evo...take this oppurtunity to root it if you havent so already...not too hard, can be done in a day...
