Been following this story in the forums and all I can say is what amazing family and friends shack has. Tells you what kind of person he is without ever meeting him. Glad to hear of his recovery and all the fundraising. Get well soon Shack.

I may be down but sure not out. smile

H1N1 0, Shack 1

Passed all my tests and I think they got sick of me in rehab grin They let me out yesterday afternoon. It is so great to be home with my family. Just being home after 50 days away is a weird. All things that came and went. I am glad I am here to absorb all of it. I will be doing in house rehab for the next month or so and then out patient.

Just starting to read some of the Caring Bridge posts and the ones from FM/HSO. It is very cool that many people are pulling for ya. Kind of shocking grin

Still can not believe this happened. I was just sick. Thanks to my loving wife for dragging me to the ER. If I had stayed home even one more hour, who knows what would have happened. Once I got to the ER I draw a blank until I woke up the other week. Besides the weird coma dreams, the time went by in a flash.

Only things I have issues with are my legs and ankles. I use a walker right now. My taste buds have no sense to them (coming back but slow). My hands are not steady at all. I could not tie a double uni if my life depended on it right now grin

I have to thank my physical therapists Scott, Sue and Becky. Santa comes in many forms.

Just a little over a week and half ago it took three grown men to get me on my feet and for only 5 seconds. The pain is something else when your legs have not moved for as long as my did not. Now I am walking. Slow and controlled, but walking smile

Still hurts like mad though mad but I push the pain aside.

I refused pain killers/relief for the first week. I wanted to do this with out anything. Plus I was having major withdrawals from the drugs they used for my coma. I now know what a heroine addict coming down feels like wink

Thanks again for all the support from you guys. I have no doubt it is the driving force behind my fast recovery.

Josh (Shack)

This should also serve as a wake up call for even us younger healthier guys. If you are sick, go in! I barely survived a menigitis scare back when I was 19, if my dad hadn't forced me to the clinic, I probably would have died that night. We should all be thankfull for those looking out for us even when we are too stubborn for our own good.

Great to hear you're now at home. It's going to take a while, but it will get better. It sounds like you don't have long term lung damage which is great! Muscle control will come back, it just takes strength and stretching exercises. It's great to see you posting again.

Shack great to have you back.

I believe that all the positive energy floating your way, the wonders of modern medicine, and you being one tough guy were the difference.

I knew you had to beat this because you had to be back to watch the purple. GO VIKES!

Shack - Its pretty amazing to see a post from you. Its especially cool that you're home with your wife and kids for Christmas! The CaringBridge updates were pretty scary at times so its awesome that you're back in the saddle.

Enjoy the holidays!

      Kudos for doing this. I'm sure a lot of fishermen would not have.
    • MikeG3Boat
      I know it has been raining all week but anyone have any walleye reports?  Heading up for the holiday weekend and want to do some fishing.
    • MikeG3Boat
      Partyonpine, Would you be willing to share in what areas you were getting some nice Bluegills?  I am on the east end on big bay and would like to find some good panfish.
    • partyonpine
      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.

      Those are some fine specimens. Great job
    • gimruis
      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.

      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!
