Not been online much lately, here. Been a guest of the local hospital.

Had a small heart attack on 5th September, and going back into hospital for a triple bypass.

 

It's been good to keep in touch via the iPhone with a few of you, particularly

Elton and Adam247, the Burgess Brothers and our resident nurse, the lovely Judy.

 

I reckon it'll be mid-November before I'm able to post regularly.

 

In the meantime, keep the good work going!

 

don't you start worring about us lot, you just keep on keeping on and come back to us when you're good and ready, we will be a waiting. Take care my mate.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes.

8 days and 5 bypass grafts later, I am home recuperating. Well, OK, I did walk to the local newsagent and coffee shop and back earlier.

 

From the outset, I want to say that we in the North West are lucky ot have a facility like the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital to call upon.

The work these people do is little short of outstanding and they genuinely care about the little things that make a difference in additiion to the basics.

 

The NHS takes mch abuse, but I will always maintain that it sets the benchmark for overall healthcare. My GP aside - who is at best a deaf, semi-literate buffoon,

I have had care at the hands of the Rotal Liverpool and the LCHC trusts which was phenomenally good. from first presenting with a suspected heart attack to transfer to the LCHC was 3 weeks. At the Pre-op assessment, Mr Darryl Cheung said 'When do you want it done?' 'I've been off work for 6 weeks and I'm bored with the limitation of mobility....' 'Fair enough. How about next week - come in Thursday and we'll do it Friday morning.'

 

As it turned out I had a call on the Tuesday and they said, 'We've got a theatre slot available...it's yours if you come in at 2 today and we'll do it tomorrow afternoon'.

 

Sorry to labour the point, but the selling point to me sa talking to a staff nurse oing the pre-op tests who said she had the heart and kidneys of a young scots lad. She'd had a heart and kidney transplant the year before in the same hospital with my consultant. A hell of an incwentive, don't you thnk?

 

What I will say to you all as a bit of an evangelist.... dont ignore chest pains - go to the A&E. Secondly, learn to eat sensibly and listen to yur body.

I've been very lucky and don't weant to waste the second or third chance. OK, I didn't want to be preachy, but like the newly non-smoker - or even Elton and his giving up the booze, I feel I speak from A) experience and B) care for my fellow man - care for your body an watch your diet.

 

Thanks for allowing me to write this.

Thanks all. Minor setback yesterday.

Got up to go to the newsagent, but forgot to allow time

for my b/p to stabilise. Got outside and fainted. Twice.

I was terrified for the girls, but with help they got me up

off the floor and back into bed.

 

This morning, I set the alarm for my meds and breakfast

and sat on the edge of the bed for 20 minutes. Felt much

better and walked to the newsagent, the coffee shop and

a friend who's 40 today. I sat and laughed for a couple of

hours and his wife drove me home.

 

All in all a good day.

 

Small daily steps add up.

Tomorrow a necessary trip into Liverpool One.

Scary!

Alan,

 

Remembering the "meds" are for a cause and taking them when I feel well is the hardest of all to have learned. Consider your "yesterday" as a part of the learning curve. DON'T Forget, they help. That's why you feel better when you DO take them.

 

Glad to see you had a "spiffer" day at coffee. I love my daily trips to the coffee shop. My largest fish and most productive days are at the coffee shop. I lie.

Ah Phone - but at your age it is easier since your friends have bad memories so the same lie can be recycled over and over and over and .....

 

At least that's the way it is for me. :D :D
