Well, I had my follow up with my regular MD today. He says I still have some fluid around my right lung, which explains why I was having a hard time breathing still. I thought it would have been "absorbed" by now but nothing is happening quite as quickly as I would like! I am trying to slowly reduce my pain pills which is working a little. The lung/chest pain is NOT helping with that! Anywho....
I am slowly getting more energy and gaining back some of the weight I lost. My arms still look like toothpicks from all the muscle mass loss (not much I can do there until I can start lifting more weight, which won't happen until my sternum is totally healed).
Onto to better topics. I did the surgery early (in the year) so it wouldn't interfere with my tourney schedule. That should tell some of you newer members just how serious I take my tourney career! :blink:
I am so stoked about this season, BOTH BFL and Everstart trails I am fishing have BOTH of their openers on Champlain in.......(wait for it).......June!!!! For those of you that know me, that's my money time. Sight fishing is my specialty AND all the side imaging in the world won't help you.....you gotta put in the time and find the fish, each indiviually with your naked eye! Really hoping I do well enought to pay not only the rest of my entry fees, but also the FLW open on Champlain that is another $4,000. Would be nice to get one of those side finders after June too!
So basically I have 2 1/2 more months to heal up 100% and get back into my groove. Should be doable! And if I tank in my tourneys this year, I already have my excuse lined up. I will be fishing for "toads" this year, NOT "pigs" for obvious reasons!
