Long time

Hello everyone, been awhile, going thru issues with diabeties, neuropathy, nerve damage, almost lost foot last year, I'm again in a pickle, infection on foot, same foot I came down with drop foot 2 months ago, I'm so broken
Just a struggle living now, seems it's one thing after another, tonight I have a bad ear ache, something I've not had for years, I also had a diabetic stroke behind right eye last year, no sight in right eye now soooo, can't see, cant walk, can't hear, anyhow, I'm still dragging myself around . Just sbit of a struggle living now
Have the best night ever to you all

Sounds rough. Best wishes to you.

Good to hear from you Bud, I shall pray for you.

Good to hear from you, Bud. So many of us on here enjoy your beautiful flies under glass every day .

Keep sharing your wisdom from your years in experience , so many talents you are graced in possessing. You teach so many.

Take your health as one would eat an elephant. One bite at a time.

Tackle the things you can do to keep holding and operating in as much comfort as possible.

We appreciate you, and you keep us updated, and in touch .

Tough stuff there Bud !! Makes it hard to tie those beautiful flies !!

I hope you make some progress !!

Well hello minus the "o" Bud, thanks for the ray of sunshine.
Aging sucks, but beats the immediate alternative. Here's to some good times and better health in the near future!
Hang in there, buddy!

Glad to hear from you Bud. Dang I'm sorry to hear things are rough. I'll be praying for you.
I was hoping to see a bunch of shrimping photos and or new flies you made. I'm glad yote still around

Well Bud, you can still type. We are all tickled about that. You surely have a wealth of knowledge to share. How about sharing some stories with us. I for one will be on the edge of my seat waiting for them. Everyone is dealt a hand of cards. Its up to each of us as to how we play them.

Awful sorry to hear all that bud, I sure enjoyed all of your shrimpin posts. Hope you start to feel better soon with some of that, take care

Get the best medical care you can find and take care of yourself, Bud.

Best wishes.

I've been wondering and worrying too, Bud. I was going to send you a PM. I sure hope you get ahead of some of those issues and feel better!

Prayers for you from Va.

Good hearing from you Bud...hope your health turns around...best wishes.

Bud, I will put you on my prayer list, get well soon!

Praying for you from NH

Nothing can boost our health and spirits like the people right here on TMAN. I had two cancer surgeries in six weeks this summer, and I am free at the moment.

I sure hope you can hang on. Diabetes is a tough nut to crack. Have a dear friend with similar problems to yours. Seems when one area improves, another goes backward.

You will be in my prayers. Asking that you can be on your feet soon.

I too lost an eye. One eye is not half as good as two.

Sorry man. I hope you are better soon.

You have all made my day, I miss my times here, I miss everything in my life that use to be
Big thank you to all, I'm wishing all of you the best evening ever

Best wishes to you Bud! I always enjoyed your posts and marveled at your artistry! You are an inspiration! God Bless!

Prayers and best wishes to you!! Diabetes sucks, my wife does well when she can keep on a strict keto diet buts its dam hard to do. Maybe start wearing a black patch over your bad eye and the town kids will call you "Pirate Bud". Hang tough!!

Prayers for you Bud hopefully you get better soon.

God be with you brother.

Mr. Bud, I am truly sorry you are going through this, I am. What I'm about to say may seem harsh, (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), I've seen it. I've seen it many times, you come across as whipped and that won't hold water. Gather yourself and fight, seek out the positive in everything, not the negatives. Keep pushing, and pushing and pushing man. I want to see those wonderful majestic pic's on the shrimp boat again, yeah.....

Bud,

Prayers from all of us in Kansas. Hang tough!

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sometimes we have to let go of the past, and start working to make the future better. Good luck Bud.
