Also, cannabis helped him a lot with phantom itching / pain in his foot, as well as kept a smile on his face through the process. A lot of my family was pretty old school in their thinking about this until they saw how much it helped him.

Good luck. Hope to see you in Baja some time.

Thanks Tim, 5 days from now the foot will be gone about mid calf. Then the healing will begin, and I will take my first steps on the road to being a Baja pirate. I plan on being in Baja by the end of April and again the third week in May to do a corvina exploratory trip. Yep that cobble stone beach just north of mako-ville will be a real test for me. But those corvina keep calling. Tight Lines amigo.
