Something that has been nagging me.....

[Jackbass]

At the age of 26 I had my first Heart cath. My grandfather died of Congestive heart failure Directly related to AAA My great uncle survived the AAA My father has an aneurysm that is watched closely. I have atrial fibrillation and have been on beta blockers since I was 27. My father has had quadruple bypass once Due to 97% blockage. He then had a single bypass a year later to repair another blockage. My mother's father had rheumatoid arthritis and her mother died of Colon cancer.

I'm destined to die young. To be honest with you the way I lived in my 20s I'm amazed I made it my 30's.

Healthwise I feel great. Fishing is the least of my worries.

I agree that you should do whatever you want, for as long as you want!
All I'm saying is that some of the things we do (and have done in the past) could be strong contributing factors for an early dirt nap.
That doesn't mean no more fishing, but maybe better fishing.

I spent the past 4-5 months dealing with cellulitis in my left leg.
It ruined most of my summer and put me in the hospital all of last week. I want to do what I can to get back into good health, but I know that has/will entail a lot less fishing. I was lucky enough to be able to make a few canal trips and quite a few freshwater kayak trips before the stuff hit the fan last week.

I plan on doing what I can to ensure I will have the opportunity to continue getting out next year!
