Finally Back...pancreatitis

[Oregon Native]

Probably spelled it wrong but it is sure painful.  Have heard it described as acid being poured in your guts to rats eatin ya from the inside out. (It's close) Anyway I had a tourney I was going to go to a couple months ago and at 2:30 in morning I get this pain in the chest that just starts growing and growing and I'm thinking @!#$ so I wake the wife and ask her to call 911 and it's back to being curled up in a ball and moaning.   The next two weeks I'm in the hospital in various states of discomfort and hearing how lucky I am.  My personnel doc said she'd never seen numbers that high.  Anyway I was in the best shape I've been in years (guess this helped save me) but now I'm down almost 40 lbs. (less than my high school weight!)

Now its hopefully a uphill battle....eating is the toughest....no red meat...no dairy...no fats...no fried and the list goes on.  Watching the cooking channel makes me fantasize.  If ya don't eat right its ever so painful.  Yesterday I had a carnation instant breakfast for breakfast and a small scoop of mashed potatoes for dinner and two packs of fruity gummy bears.  Oh yeah.....livin large.  But I did get a decent nights sleep for first time in a week.

Anyway sorry for carrying on....wanted to talk to someone and hope no one else on this site gets it.  Hopefully it will be a fishing report here down the road.  Would fall outa boat now.  

Was kinda sad...first time I've ever had to cancel two qualifiers, one for Heartland and one for FLW.  

Praise the Lord...all works to the good.

Boy that sucks. Hope you succeed with your diet & get things under control. Rest up the fishing will wait.

Take care of yourself and get better.  The fishing in TN this time of the year is slow anyways!

Thank you all for your kind words...it's even more evident that every day is truly a gift. My future habits are sure going to change.
