I don't like
to recommend surgery unless one of 2 things prevail :
1.) Pain
beyond the capacity of the patient to withstand.
2.) Severe
functional disability such that the patient cannot actively abduct the
shoulder.
We can still
be effective teachers of fly casting even though physical problems limit our
distance ability and our ability to handle heavy tackle.
As I've said
before, In the 70's, Nadia Comenche from Romania made a perfect 10 score
in ladies gymnastics.

Gordy -
In spite of cutting out practice since October
the shoulder is only marginally better. Finally scheduled
for an MRI on May 20. Not sure if there is much
point - I don't intend to have surgery or stop fishing and I
don't
think the long term prospects for recovery are
all that good. Physiotherapy, cortisone and 6 months of almost
total rest haven't made much
difference.
The good news is that I've had some time to work
on launching a fly fishing business (www.go-wyld.com) and I expect
to have the head mounted display ready for
unveiling as a teaching tool at the Conclave.
Looking forward to getting together at the
Conclave. Has anybody suggested a group meeting time or location
yet?
Cheers
Walter
