Surgery & Recovery

Surgery & Recovery

My mother was a nurse and I was always fascinated with the medical world. So when it comes to anything health related I’m always doing way too much research, hyper focusing, etc, to the point of diagnosing myself with every conceivable thing that could be wrong with me and in the process driving myself mad.

24 Hours Before Surgery

24 Hours Before Surgery

So just to get this out of the way, the surgery itself is no big deal, I’m just going in to have 2 hernias repaired, sewed up and meshes installed to protect the stomach and intestines. The first location on my abdominal wall is basically like swiss cheese according to my Doctor, with a bunch […]

Roller Coaster Disc Golf Win

This game of disc golf…. it literally saved my life due to latching onto it as a weight loss tool, but in the process it also has provided some of the most frustrating and at the same time most satisfying moments of my life. I’ve always been way too competitive, probably beyond my mental or […]

From using a cane pole with bread on the hook to a full assault European bank fishing kit complete with electronic […]

Why I Fish

Why I Fish

I’ve always wondered why my urge to fish is so strong. As a youth growing up it’s not like any of my family taught me how to fish. Oh sure, my father took me fishing (he didn’t fish) a couple of times and I was even gifted a Popeil Pocket Fisherman. But no one in […]
