Well yet another early morning start to add to the diary not from an attacks thank god or from the shadows i normally get. Its down to me getting a nice and early night last night ready for fishing this morning as I am going fishing at one of our local lakes today. I am surprised i haven't been woken by the head as yesterday it was still playing up something rotten. I kept on getting some very strong shadows that i thought would lead to an attack but luckily it didn’t and i managed to stay attack free for most of the day.
I can’t wait to go fishing today! It’s been a couple of weeks since i was last out on the bank trying to catch fish so i have been having withdrawals from it. With all this lovely sun all week you would have thought i would have been out every day but as my mother was still in hospital i wanted to wait for her to have the operation and stat getting better before i did anything and thankfully she has pulled through ok and is now recovering from the ordeal
At last my mum is home from the hospital. None of us like being in hospital for any reason and my mum is no exception. Just laying there each day with nothing to do is so boring at times its unreal. OK i know that most are in pain and that's why they are there as they need to be watched but you can’t even watch TV with out having to pay a small fortune for it and a radio is out of the question as they only allow small portable ones with ear phones in as they say it could upset the other patients.
Well at least now she is home and the cancer is now gone. Mind you also one of her kidneys so the body now has to adjust to just having one in. They say you can live a normal life with one kidney in you just have to make sure of your diet and exercise and not over do things until the body has fully adjusted. So it looks like a couple of weeks rest for her. I can’t see that happening i give it maximum 2 weeks before she is nagging to go fishing, maybe even sooner.
Not long till its time to leave to go fishing, only a couple of hours so i suppose i best start to get ready as i have one of the team members joining me to give hand to get all the gear down by the lake side. Its crazy how much gear you accumulate when you take up fishing as a sport instead of a hobby. This is only due to strict rules on how you treat the fish that you capture and the gear you use it to catch it. Of course it is also the fishing companies bringing out new products and techniques so you end up having to purchase the latest tackle or fad that is hitting the water banks each year and it soon all adds up.
