Pain Free but will its Last?

Well at least i managed to stay pain free yesterday as we decided to go fishing up at Peterstone Lakes.The weather had warmed up compared to previous weeks, so i was lucky that the cold wasn’t blowing directly at me as i had my gazebo brolly with me and could hide away out of the wind. My mother, on the other had, was sat directly in the direction the wind was blowing and had to give up half way through the day as the cold had gotten to the joints and started the painful aches.

We still had a great day out ad my mother and step farther managed to catch themselves a few small fish where as i didn’t manage to catch any in the time that we had. I have decided to get another day in fishing today down at my local lake but due to it being foggy and overcast i will have to make sure i do wrap up very well as the damp will eventually find its way in if i don’t.

So far i haven’t had any attacks from yesterdays trip so i am happy the coldness hasn’t started of a chain reaction with my head. There are no shadows at the moment and i feel pretty positive this morning so i am hoping the day remains pain free. I will take my injections with me just in case and a flask of hot coffee to make sure i keep my body temperature up and this should ensure that i don’t get any painful attacks today.

I am now looking forwards to my brain scan scheduled on the 1st December as finally i will get some answers to questions i have had for a few years with regards to the swelling on the left side of my head. I am still convinced there is something that has caused my condition to accelerate. i feel like there is something that is causing all this swelling and i really want to make sure there is nothing there that can cause me problems in the years to come.

Only a short blog today as i am in the middle of getting my tackle ready to leave. It will be a late start today as i have to go and get my medication from the chemist at 9.30 before i do anything else. Other wise i will be in a world of trouble and end up in agonizing pain. Finger crossed i continue pain free today and i also manage to catch me a nice big fish.
