Monday 6 June 2022, 22:26 - Over 8 hours of surgery and off my tits on Morphine - I don't really remember taking this photo! Five more days in hospital before released home to continue my recovery...
Thursday 16 June 2022, 05:31 - Currently taking 28 pills, plus 8 potions a day, very difficult to speak or eat, and f**k I move slowly! But back on the riverbank (briefly) - going the right direction...
Fishing - An early start and I managed 4 hours on the riverbank - landing
10 small barbel and
two small carp - all on floating crust. A fantastic morning - before heading back to the hospital...
Great to see you troubling the barbel again. Good luck with your ongoing recovery.
ReplyDeleteHad to sneak a couple of hours in on the opening morning - before heading back to the hospital :-)
DeleteMad how fast you're hair grows !! good luck with it all Brian !!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mick. My X-Men power to stop me getting cold when I’m pike fishing! Not a bad opening 4 hours; 10 barbel and 2 small carp off the top (for my records).
Deleteyour not you're !!!
ReplyDeleteThrow him to the Grammar Nazis…
DeleteHardcore! Well in Brian. (Ben Hennessy)
ReplyDeleteCheers Ben. Anytime I can squeeze a bit of fishing in…
DeleteCan't keep a good guy down, impressive stuff Brian. By the way, is your hair growth full moon related?
ReplyDeleteWas wondering if I could make it opening morning - and things seemed to line up. Thankfully the little carp and barbel wanted to play (the chub were strangely absent). Owooooo!
DeleteWell done Brian.
DeleteCheers Monty, can’t wait to get back out for another go…
DeleteProbably the best medicine!! If the NHS could prescribe fishing!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I’m concerned they have prescribed fishing… Lot’s of fishing :-)
DeleteFucking hell, that's some achievement Brian. Fair play to you for actually making it out on the bank, and catching. Best of luck with the recovery and will hopefully see you on the bank at some time.
ReplyDeleteCheers James, I knew that if there was any possible way to be on the riverbank for opening day I’d be there - but 10 days was cutting it close! Glad I made it though. See you on the riverbank..!
DeleteGreat to see you on the mend !!! Cracking start to the season.
ReplyDeleteThanks Darren. That’s battle one in the bag! And just great to make it onto the riverbank on the opening day - the fish really were just a bonus!
DeleteLike a shaven monkey emerging from the landing craft! Get well MF.
