About a month ago I had some new pain in my abdomen and went to see my doctor. He diagnosed me with a minor hernia, and told me to take it easy. Well....I'm not really a take it easy kind of guy, and apparently made it worse. I'm at a point right now where I can't ride my bike anymore. Those of you that have read a lot of my posts probably know that is how I get to go fishing, by riding my bike. I'm going back into the doctor's Friday morning and I think I'll probably have to go in and have surgery. I certainly can't keep doing nothing about it. Unfortunately, I don't expect the darned thing to be healed before the end of the fishing season, so bike-riding is probably out for the next couple of months. I'm sure I'll get out one or two more times with a friend driving, but not the 4-5 times a week like I'm used to. I'm pretty bummed out! However, just cause I'm not fishing, doesn't mean I'll stop coming to the boards.
