OUR'S MUSKY UPDATE !!!!

[ray koziatek]

Wish i had some great news. Just got off the phone with "POPS" Musky he has had a mild stroke......right side 100% ok. left side gonna need some work(rehab) has 95% use of left side but numbness is got a few spots in question. After another battery of test today the final results still wont be known to him till tonight when the doc reads and evaluates todays test. He is taking it like a "trooper" with comments like "thats part of growing up" ...........Normally to talk of such challenges in life one might say lets keep this private , But i feel sharing our feelings with and about MUSKYBOB is like talking about one of our own family members (the one who wears stripped shirts). So as these things go day to day is the only way to face this. Bob has a great spirit and willingness to fish among other things so im shure he has all the right stuff to beat another challange thrown his way.....we all have his PM address so any words of private encouragement can be directed to him that way. I think he said ST,LUKES hospt. in utica rm. 365 is where he is at. he feels they might send him home tomorrow.. SO ITS day to day for now ill keep his L.O.U. family updated .....

PLEASE KEEP THE PRAYER'S AND THOUGHTS DIRECTED BOBS WAY FOR A FEW MORE DAYS (and his family too!!

the kind words spoken allready will mean the world to him so feel free to keep posting on "The Prayer Topic" post it will give him something to do when he mounts the keyboard soon... Thank You Lake Ontario United for allowing me and others to meet such a great bunch of fishermen .and down to earth good people. Ray K. P.S humor is part of his life so dont feel bad about any funnies you put in his post he might be a little down but not out so keep polking a little fun till he gets out then its full bash ahead..... P.S. just looked up hospital and room number still no results as of 9:03 am wed. he is still a little whimpy but is working early on his physical theorpy with the nurses (women) he keeps from being slapped by stating "opps another spasim" then they remind him that he grabbed them with his good arm..
