I finally have a surgery date!

*UPDATE: Surgery date rescheduled to Monday, March 7th! Time to get rid of my tumor...

It's strange that one day you can feel completely healthy, then the next day you can't even get out of bed without nearly falling down and getting extremely light headed at the slightest turn of the head. I guess in a way I'm glad this happened because the doctor said if it gets any bigger it can hit my optic nerve and cause some blindness. It already rearranged my carotid arteries according to what the doctors said.

I would like to thank all of you for the kind words; my family, friends, and even all the bass fishing people I know through blogs, twitter, and Facebook.

Thank You!

Fishing! The Best Medicine

About two weeks ago, I started to feel a bit light headed. It began at night and I thought it was because I was now overworked since picking up a 2nd job. The whole weekend came and it didn't get any better. Finally, after about three days of the headache not going away, my mom made the decision to take me to the hospital. Good thing! What they found was a tumor; an enlarged pituitary gland to be exact. Finally the headaches have subdued for now and I can resume normal activity but I will need surgery and yearly MRI checkups.

I can't be bummed out the remainder of my life however, I still have fishing! So in between classes at school, I headed to the local park for an hour of fishing. These are my first fishes since finding out I have a tumor. Fishing heals!
