Scott Emerson:  

I am the proud Dad of three christian son's. i have six wonderful grandchildren. I have wonderful wife who has kept me in line now for the last 36 years. I have worked in Quality Control for the past 35 years. I currently work in the Conroe area working four 12 hour days and I get four days off. I have also work part time for the past 11 years as a Third Party inspector in Houston. Hopefully when the time comes to retire from my present job I can do part time inspections to help pass the time. I have had my share of injuries, three knee, two shoulder and three neck surgeires leaving me with three fusions in the neck, C4-C5-C6-C7. I have been hard on my body. Now to add insult to injury two more hand surgires in 2011. I had worn out my wrist bones donig my everyday all day long task. They replaced two bones with a doulbe fusion which 9 months later failed. So just as my luck goes they had to go in and remove them and do another surgery transplanting a tendon from my wrist and building up scar tiisue to replace the bones. This past November I went in for a routine physical and they found blockage in my heart. It was so blocked it wouldn't take a stent. So a few meds everyday and I'm as god as new. The blockage was in a good area that only effected 5% of the heart. God is good!. I pretty much shot the whole year of minimum fishing and playing golf. Well, it's been over a year and now I'm back to my regualr way of life. Golf couldn't be better. LOL. still do what I want to do. Play golf, fish, hunt and work on my property oh by the way we just sold. Great no more back aches. :). I refuse to get old. My wife has pulled 40 lbs off of me over the past 18 months. I figure I need to listen to her and eat only what she feeds me. My wife is a health nut. Totally commited to eating the right stuff. My doctors told me in April 2009 that pain won't get any better and is likely to worsen. So, I turned my life over to her and have been able to get off of all of my meds. It is amazing. Eating healthy has totally changed my life. My new venture is starting a Fishing Guide Service on Lake LIvingston. rodbenderguideservice.com.The inspection work is Houston has slowed down for me. Most of my work was BP related. I have had several fishing trips this year and really like what I do. Maybe this is what I can depend on when I retire. I remain healthy and try to get out on the lake twice a week and the golf course once a week. July 2011. A total shut down this past January. I had two bones fused in my right hand. Here it is July and I'm still down. I miss playing golf. It kind of hinders my fish cleaning abilities a little bit. LOL. It has been a slow recovery but all in all I feel pretty good. I had a new grandson 6 weeks ago. Sure am proud to be a paw paw. I now have three grand children. August 2011 - the right hand has finally started getting better. Life is good. My part time work sarted back up so now I am inspecting a three month long job for Conoco Phillips. It has me working eight days a week. I like to stay busy. November 2011 . More bad news. A blockage in my heart....Expand for more
