Luckily i haven’t been woken by the Beast this morning but my bowls are playing up something rotten. My back is in agony and the muscles in my back are in constant pain and are all tense. The amount of wind i have is crazy and painful when it keeps getting trapped. I am hoping a day out in the fresh air will do me the world of good. We have decided to go fishing again so i have been awake since 4 am. I still get excited before a fishing trip even after all these years of fishing. It’s something i look forwards to and when i am actually fishing i seem to relax. Fishing is the only sport and exercise i know of that actually stops my attacks from developing and helps me to concentrate and think through problems to find solutions. It is the only time i can honestly say i am completely relaxed and happy.
Its mad how such a small thing like fishing can effect someone so much it actually helps them on a mental level as well as physical. Being the only sport i love that i can actually participate in. I also love rugby but with my head and back i don’t think it would be a good idea playing that sport. I am just hoping that my back behaves itself today so i can really enjoy my fishing trip. The last time we fished the pond we are going to fish today we were non stop catching fish and it was a very busy and physical day so fingers crossed we have another day like that. Even though i am sat in a chair catching fish it still helps to exercise my joints and muscles and will hopefully help with the nerve and maybe even help un-trap what ever nerve is trapped in my shoulder that keeps making my left arm go dead.
The head has been behaving itself for the last 2 days with only a small attack late yesterday afternoon. I am sure it was the problem with the trapped nerve in the shoulder that caused the attack to come as i could feel the nerve in the neck being aggravated and swelling every now and again. The amount of pain you get from a nerve is unreal and when they decide to play up you know about it. Anyone passing my flat last night must have thought someone was being killed the amount of screaming i did from a small head attack all because the nerve was swollen over the head and the amount of pain that gave off was unlike anything i can describe. Fingers crossed it doesn’t play up today and i catch some nice big fish.
