Returned to work, got trapped in the back of a trailer by an improperly loaded 650lb barrel. Destroyed my rotor cuff, had my bicep tenden relocated. Tore 4 ligaments in my shoulder. Had 1 inch of my collar bone removed (shoulder decompression). A metal damping system installed. And have C4,5,6 severely herniated and considered inoperable without crippling me completely. Had 13 Boas ( BCI, BCC, BRB, Dumerili)kept three Peter Kalh snakes and my Dumeril). For a couple of years I kept nothing because I was fighting stomache cancer. About two years ago couldn't believe the prices of some of the ball python morphs (I started in this hobby in 1987). And jumped back in, I really can't tell you how nice it is to have snakes again. That's why I keep simple set ups. Plus I can always count on my wife. Sorry about the rant. But I can relate, my snakes truly make bring a smile to my face despite what I've been through. Hang in there!!
    That sounds like hell and back. I Can't wait to see them all

    Yeah, it was late. Usally I try to keep that in. I was tired and it felt good to vent. After I wanted to delete it but it I waited to long. Sorry about the grammar, and the the story being a little choppy in the middle. I posted too tired. Yeah, not to mention the hell it put my family and I through. Have two young daughters. Just trying to say keep on going, have something to look forward to. I can't tell you in the last twenty years how many lemons I've been handed. Just gotta make lemonade. Even if you get tired of the taste. Kept boas for most my life. I wanted something a little more smaller. The balls have been a blast. Keeps me going even when I don't want to.

    Stay strong man!

    I have had 5 surgeries on various pieces and parts over the years. The last was fun. I tore my quadricep muscle completely off. It was work related and I was out for 7 months.

    Lots of computer and snake time and some goofy, pain med induced posting on snake boards.

    I'm back at 100% again and I'm still kicking butt so you'll be back too!


    Rest up and enjoy the smell of Brainerd in the summer.

    I probably won't see you at the expo next weekend.
