I would just like to say thank you again for all the support. It meant something huge to my wife and mother during this ordeal. I have read everything and am just amazed myself.

I am starting to get around the house pretty good now with the help of crutches or walker. Trying to work out as much as I possibly can to gain muscle strength back. Went to the doc today and it went very well. Still up in the air on how much lung damage occurred (I am banned from x-rays for awhile due the amount of them I had in the ICU grin). So it is a see what happens down the road type thing.

Sure is nice being back on FM/HSO. Totally missed the hunting season, but the I am glad I am here to read all the current ice fishing reports smile

Thanks again.

Merry Christmas Josh!

It's good to hear you are doing well and working hard on recovery. 8 years ago today (2001), I had just gotten out of Mercy's ICU with my lung issues, so your story is so familiar. This may slow you down some long term, but you learn to work around it.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I am so happy to see you back on the forum, missed your posts immensely. Hoping to see some more of your informative videos. I went through something similar with my spouse in 2003, 25 days in ICU and 60 days total in the hospital. It is amazing how fast the muscles deteriorate when you are not using them.

Congratulations on your recovery. I just read through many pages - I am so impressed at the FM family. Your ordeal makes my 8 day Christmas vacation in the hospital with a triple bypass seem so small in comparison.

Agreed! Small troubles pale in comparison to Josh's ordeal and most importantly the recovery!

Welcome back Josh! Don, best wishes to you as well!

Just chatted with Sue over email. You have a few more donations on the way. Hope they help out. I have a daughter that needs P-ICU care once in a while at the MN Childrens Hospital and I know how bad those bills are. Prayers are with you for a fast recovery.

Yes, thank you all for coming. It was a very good time and pretty much everyone walked away with something. The Subway giant subs where great and everything went very smooth.

Thanks again! smile

I was really impressed with the turn out, and it was great to finally meet Josh and several others in person. Kudo's to all of those who put in so much hard work on this benefit. I have worked a fundraiser like this and know how much work is involved. Too bad I let Sifty outbid me on the Appledoorn's weekend ice rental, I am sure Paul would have been happy to see part of the cold front crew again. Just not enough bucks in the pocket to go any higher, have a good time and catch more than we did we we were there New Years!

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      By fishingstar · Posted

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Bait

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
