Good News/Bad News

First the good news:

Harry Mason has an article in the new SW Fly Fishing and it's a really
interesting read as well as a description of how to construct his CDC Biot
Caddis.

Bad News:

I slipped on the deadly basalt in the bottom of a deep canyon yesterday and
landed on my elbow. My sleeve was torn a little so I rolled it back and
noticed a pretty deep smile shaped cut. My friends and I looked at it and
decided not to quit fishing and hike back up 800' and then drive to the
doctor. It wasn't bleeding that bad but it looked deep. And the fishing
was pretty good. Thankfully one of my friends had his RV at the top and I
got it cleaned up about 6:30 in his RV sink. Heidi took me to the Urgent
Care and it turns out that I'd not only cut my skin deeply but my bursa as
well, so I got stitched inside and out.

But on the way home today we stopped and I fished long enough to catch a
nice little brown by the side of the road. Heidi had a book to read so she
didn't notice me out slipping around in my Tevas!

That's a nasty sort of cut Bruce, I hope it heals properly.

Ouch, at least it was just an ouch and nothing TOO serious. Were you
wearing your Teva's at the time of the fall?

Hope you heal up OK. Any mention of bursa makes me shudder.

Thanks for all the get well wishes. I think it will be fine. It is my
right elbow and I was wearing my studded Simms boots. I do cast with my
right hand although I write left handed. Maybe that's why both skills have
evaded me so far (g)
