That is great it went well. A "Here Here" to a fast recovery.

I talked to Chris last night and he wanted to pass on his thanks for the good wishes and tell you all to have a Merry Festivus or whatever happens to suit your fancy. He's not up to sitting at a computer checking FM posts yet but he's home and doing relatively well. He'll be making a heckuva fashion statement with a turtle shell like back brace for the foreseeable future.

Shack - He was esepecially happy to hear of your recovery.

Thanks to all, very much appreciated! Sorry for the delay in my reply, but I've more or less been flat on my back.

The operation went well, just a long and slow and sore recovery period. A double fusion of my lower two vertabre now gives me 6 screws and two 3.5 inch long titanium rods as permanent hardware in my lower back. So, I should be able to spin fig 8s like a machine and be able to cast a mile!

Three months with a plastic torso brace (a.k.a. cast) and we'll see what the surgeon says at that point. All goes well and I'll be back at it, likely throwing lighter baits for a while!

To Shack: Welcome back Josh!! Couldn't be happier for you and the family! I think you and I will need a day chasing Sunset Bay skis this year for sure! "Did you just step out of a scotch ad?"

Thanks again to all and I look forward to good things to come in 2010.

Happy Holidays, Chris
