42808, I won't be making Mel Cotton's after all....
Posted by BuzzFish, Sun Jul-04-10 08:26 AM
Looks like I can't make this one after all due to recent health issues. I just got out of the hospital yesterday for diverticulitis with a small perforation. This means that bacteria leaked into my abdominal cavity, never a good thing. I'm on antibiotics that make me very susceptible to sun burn and right now have pretty low energy. I also missed four days of work last week and am way, way behind. As an aside I was very fortunate to get a really good doctor when I went to urgent care. I have other, less serious issues that could have accounted for my symptoms but this gut wouldn't give up until he KNEW what was wrong. It took over 8 hours of testing and diagnosis to sniff it out.

I already paid my entry so will "donate" it to the winners. I pretty much do this every time I fish a tournament anyway, the only difference this time is that I am skipping the fishing part of it.

Hope to see you all at MR next month!

Im sorry to hear that Clint. You are one of the most hard core guys in the club and I always enjoy chopping it up with you at the tournaments. So I hope you have a speedy and successful recovery!
See you on the river!

Thanks guys. I'm on the mend but feel that fishing this Saturday is pushing it, with the antibiotics in particular. Besides I missed three days of work last week and am just now figuring out how far behind I am.
