I managed to stay asleep until 6am, now considering i am normally woken by the beast by 3am it’s not bad at all. The attack this morning was a strange one, although it built up like the normal attacks i get and was starting to be a very nasty attack then all of a sudden it just disappeared. Normally i have to take my injection to get it to disappear like it did. Don’t get me wrong i am happy it did stop suddenly but i just found it very strange that it didn’t continue when i woke up. By the time i ran into the living room and picked up my injection to get ready to take it, the attack was gone. Now why can’t all the attacks be like that.
Yesterday i stayed relatively pain free all day apart from 3 smaller attack that i had on the way home from my mothers house. i am sure it was down to the cold wind and low temperature that set tem off, but thankfully they were only small ones and where gone by the time i got indoors. I continued the rest of the evening with no attacks and very little sign of any. My neck has been behaving itself and my head seems to be ok for the time being. The swelling i normally get over the scar on the left side of the head has gone right down. There is still a little swelling but no where near as much as there used to be.
Not long now, only next Monday and i will see the specialist and finally get some answers to questions i have been dying to ask. To finally know what has been causing all this trouble for so long will be amazing, i can’t wait! The weather is still forecasting cold spells at the moment so i am still locked away indoors keeping out of the cold. They even recon we might get some more snow this week, i can’t see it myself as i think its a little to warm for the snow. It is possible they get some more snow on the mountains but not in Cardiff as it is a coastal town and we tend to be the last out of everyone to get snow falling on the ground.
I have been trying to concentrate on doing some work on the computer for the last couple of days as i have been accepted as a product tester for Total Outdoors, a company that sells fishing products via e-bay and online marketing. I have been creating my site to accommodate the product reviews making it look nice and easy to find. I am so surprised how popular my fishing blog or web site has become as i am getting a few hundred visitors every week. This site is all about our fishing trips as we go around Wales visiting the different lakes, rivers, ponds and fisheries. I also have a web site that is dedicated to computers and how to repair them and the software we use on them. The computer site is the most popular of all my sites as it even has free software downloads for people so i think that is a huge attraction to the site and is why it has built up in visitors over such a small amount of time. I also have Facebook pages for all these sites including this one, my private blog, so it keeps me busy during the day when i can’t go out due to the weather.
With the weather warming up and spring on its way i am getting ready to go fishing again and will be spending most of my time by the waters edge this year brushing up on my water craft and fishing skills. I have decided i won’t be fishing any competitions until i am ready and have spent a lot more time polishing my skills at some of the big fisheries we have here in south Wales.One thing i have noticed is the price on the equipment. My god has it become expensive. I remember when i was younger and fishing the river Ouse and the big gravel pits next to where i was living as well. The cost of the fishing then was a lot cheaper and it wouldn’t cost a whole weeks wages just to get the latest fishing rod or tackle bag. You were able to by a pack of hooks for under 30p and the bait, well maggots were only about £1.50 and that was expensive back in the late 80’s, early 90’s. I think i am starting to show my age.
