Back in January had a very serious situation with blood clots in my lungs. A lot in my right lung and some in my left. Thanks to the doctors at the PRISMA hospital in Columbia SC they were able to remove them.
It took me a little while to get my stamina back but I am feeling great. I am taking blood thinners and my blood pressure medication but that's it. I have lost some weight but have gotten a little slack on my good eating........working on correcting that. It was a little tough fishing and doing other activities at first but I am back fishing a lot and able to hang in there and fish all day now. I have fished some small tournaments recently and feel back to normal. One thing I have started doing is using my front pedestal seat more. My balance is not what it used to be and I am sure that is part of being an old man. I am good if it is smooth water but I need the butt seat if it is windy/rough. I fished the SC Fishers of Men recently on Lake Murray with BR200 and I had to leave the TM driving to him since we had wind over 30 MPH that day. We did catch over 18 pounds and came in 8th out of 54 boats.
I had a lot of people praying for me and it definitely helped. The good Lord has more plans for me!
