Woke up finding it hard to breathe…..

After scaring myself half to death due to pains in the back and side being so bad no matter how much medication i take take and then feeling really ill as the infection started to spread across my chest to my other lung i finally thought i was getting better the other day as i was feeling a lot more energetic and less pain. Now to top it all off i have woken this morning, with both sides of my lungs hurting and back aching worst than tooth ache, to find it hard to breath. I can feel i have an infection now and the chest has become tighter as the lungs have swollen up over night.

There is no way it could have been made worst as i have kept the flat warm so i don’t catch a chill or cold as i was starting to get a blocked nose yesterday and thought it was the last thin i needed right now. I don’t think being a smoker is helping one bit with my infection so if it continues at this rate i will have to give up for a short while. This infection seems to knock you in stages but seems to be getting worst. Mind you i am only half way through the antibiotics course of medication so it is a bit soon to be hoping for miracles. I suppose as soon as the antibiotics have built up enough resistance i will start to feel better and they do say you do feel worst before you feel better as the virus will try and fight back before it is killed off so i just have to stay strong.

I am happy to report i have only had a few head attacks over the last couple of weeks so i know the medication is definitely helping my condition. Even though we have had some bad weather, cold, wet and windy i have still only had a few attacks and believe it is only because of the infection that they have actually appeared at all as i don’t think i would have had the ones i did if i were not ill. I am praying that after the infection has disappeared i will be able to do one increase on the medication and that should take care of the attacks until it winter time again and then i will need extra help. 

So it looks like its another weekend taking it easy while we have this horrible weather and as soon as i am better i can plan my next fishing trip witch i am hoping is going to be next Sunday down at my local lake.  I promised myself i would pay it another visit as soon as the weather started to improve and see if i can get a nice Carp out of there. So fingers crossed with the weather set to start warming up next weekend and hopefully this infection will be under control by then we should be able to get out on the waters edge and catch some nice fish to start off the new season.
