Luckily i didn’t get anymore attacks appear yesterday and the pain in my neck and back eased off during the day and didn’t give me any more problems. However i have still woken up this morning with a pain in my lower back or side. Its strange as it is in the exact place where i thought it was my kidneys but was told that it was actually my lung. The lower part of your lung actually reached down to the lower back and slightly to the side. This is the area i am getting some weird pains and feelings of pressure. Even as i am sat at my desk typing up this blog if i lean to far forwards i suddenly get a sharp pain appear in my side or back and if i just sit and relax that sharpness turns to a dull ache.
I am not sure what is causing this and can only think it is the infection that i had that is causing me so much discomfort. Its really annoying and worrying at the same time. I am not sure why? and if it is my lung that is causing it? I don’t have any secondary symptoms that's for sure. My breathing is fine and i don’t have any cough. I don’t have any mucus or anything that is causing my breathing to be funny so why it is playing up so much i just don’t know. It doesn’t matter what position i sit in or lay in, come to think about it, it always seems to cause me to feel very uncomfortable and constantly aches.
Apart from this i have been good this morning. I haven’t any signs of my head returning and no sign of an attack building. This has happened a few times before, where my mind has been constantly focused on something other than the attacks i get all the time and in a way helped to avoid any stress built or related attacks from appearing. As long as the beast stays asleep i don’t mind. I am just happy to continue my pain free period and enjoy it as much as i can. I have managed to catch up with my house works and cleaning and have even managed to clean all my fishing tackle so it all looks brand new again. Its not long now till our holiday down in Cornwall and we get to spend 7 nights away from home on a fishing holiday with my mother and step father.
I am so looking forwards to this holiday as it will be my first holiday in over 10 years. Having lived abroad for so many years in Cyprus, a tropical paradise, i have been spoilt when it comes to sun and beaches so it really doesn’t interest me in going somewhere hot and spending all day on the beach topping up my sun tan (not that i couldn’t do with a bit of colour) but i prefer holidays or breaks where you can just relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. (I think i am starting to show my age!)
Just over 4 weeks away from a nice treat away fishing at one of Cornwall's premier fishing locations at White Acres Fishing & Holiday Park. I am really looking forwards to this trip as not only will i get a chance to have a nice holiday with my mother and step rather but will also be getting away doing something that i love so much. Every since my return to the UK over 12 years ago i have wanted to get back into my fishing but never really bothered until i became ill with my head. Then all of a sudden i was bitten by the fishing bug for the second time and this time it was even worst than when i was a youngster. At least when i was young the fishing tackle was a lot cheaper than it is today and now i have caught the bug the second time round i am finding that my interest is costing me a fortune. Not that i am one to complain, the way i look at it is if i didn’t spend it on “Fishing Tackle” then it would be wasted else where and at least i have something to show for the money i have spent.
I have now reached the point where i have everything that i need to go fishing and take on some big specimen fish but as each week passes there is always something new that’s been released and you want to add to your tackle collection. I have been spending the last couple of weeks making sure i have everything i want when we go away on holiday as i will be trying my hand at a few NEW fishing techniques whilst away at White Acres. Let’s hope i come back with some nice photographs of the fish we have caught.
Well for now my pain is staying to a minimum and it is only the aches in the side and back that is causing me any discomfort. I am just praying that this infection shifts soon as i only have one day left of my antibiotics and when they are gone i have no other way of fighting the infection. I am praying i am well enough to go on my holiday in the first place. The last thing i need now is something to happen to me to cancel my holiday as i have been looking forwards to it so much lately. The weather has been slowly improving as we come into Spring but this week is forecast to go a step backwards and the winter weather is going to return for a few days just to remind us of how cold it can get so i am praying that although the cold weather may return that my head attacks remain away and this frost doesn’t wake the sleeping beast.
