Keeping Things Quiet

What the f%^#$ ??? You gonna be okay Paul? Nothing too serious I hope?

[Allen Sr]

I agree that just plain 'suxs'. Sorry to hear it Paul. My prayers are with you for a safe and speedy recovery.

Been having some difficulty walking. MRI shows spinal chord compression in my neck so this is what I'm having fixed before it gets worse . Unfortunately it will also prevent me from doing the buffing, impeller changing, bottom coating, rope pulling, etc, etc required to commission the Trojan for the summer.

I've had a really good run as far as boating is concerned over the last several years. So I guess that this is one of those situations where the bad must be taken along with the good.

Paul, I've been following this thread from the beginning. Like Big D had stated, everything you touch has a beautiful outcome, I've never seen a fuel tank you can eat off of. Sorry to hear about you're neck, I hope it won't put you down for to long, god bless.

When it comes to the boat you did what had to be done, and took the time you needed to make sure the outcome was awesome. Do the same for yourself. Get what help you need, give things time to heal and recover. If that means you lose much of 2013 but can have an AWESOME 2014, so be it. Don't hurt yourself.

hey paul, keep us posted. it appears that many of us are due for a refit eh? our boats and our bodies. like me and allen, you will get through this. you know you have all the support of your fellow trojan men (and women too). we are here for you. i just wish i were closer to lend some sort of helping hand. my personal thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.
god bless my friend.

That boat is one of many incentives for you to push yourself into wellness and get your ass back out on the water with her !

It's far more than a hunk of fiberglass, aluminum, wires and mechanical stuff.

Back from surgery. Feel like a bag of $hit. All went well.

[prowlersfish]

Glad it when well , My better half had neck /back surgery , they fused some disc's and 2 rods installed last year , She is doing great . I don't remember the recovery being to long. You will back to norm or better in no time .

[MattSC]

Glad to hear that everything went well, hang in there it will get better soon!

[Big D]

That's really good news Paul. Thanks for including us. Guess you're going to be spending more time in front of the computer for a while
