It seems that there will be no more shooting, fishing or long walks in the hills for me and whilst it may be realistic, it is a bitter pill to swallow. If I never fired a shot again, I suppose that it will not really matter,I have, after all, shot more things in a season than many might shoot in a lifetime. The same goes for fishing and it would have been nice to say goodbye to some of those wild, private and special places in the hills. I would like the choice though and it seems that there is none. Dammit!

Yes, I know I have been lucky all my life and I have, honestly, had little to complain about and I really must be grateful for the chance that I have just been given by many wonderfully skilled and dedicated people, but hells teeth this is dire news! Selfish? Yes I bloody am! Brassed off? Too damn right! Lucky too, I know!

Sorry chaps its not any one's fault and I am sorry for the rant.But--------------this is a tricky one to get the hang of-------------as I know I must.
Jock,

You bloody well should be! However what you are really looking at is your condition at this moment MINUS your strong constitution and the effects of time. Medical professionals are by nature cautious and pessamistic, musn't give the chap too much hope, what if we are wrong. Hold fast to your dreams and plans, maintain your course and speed, and at the end of the day you fall short it will not be for lack of trying!

Weasel :ootd:
