    If he had not had his wife with him to make him behave, he would probably have stopped on his way back from the doctor's office. I'm happy to see him back in his natural setting, I feared he would wither like a neglected flower if he wasn't watered soon.

    Thanks for the pictures Wayne! I really enjoyed myself. It has been a long time since surgery on Jan. 31st, and it felt great. I told the surgeon what I had done but made sure he understood that I did more sidearm casting and roll casting and nothing overhead and he said as long as I was careful and did not do anything to strain my shoulder, he would approve of me fly fishing. He told me I had come a long way in 2 1/2 months and my progress was very good. He wants me to continue going to therapy twice a week for the next 4 weeks and then return for a check up on May 28th. He said if I was careful and went to the therapy, he would probably be releasing me on the 28th, to be on my own with home exercises. He said it would take approximately 6 months from the surgery before my shoulder would be completely healed and that would be in July. As it is, I am able to do a lot of things and I will be very careful. At least I am able to fly fish. : )

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    lastchance,

    For about the last 9 months of last year my casting shoulder and arm was giving me some pain when using a fly rod, weedeater, etc. and I kept thinking it would get better, but, that never happened. So, I decided this past January to get it checked out and the surgeon thought, from viewing the MRI, that all I had was a bone spur which needed ground out. After he got in the shoulder and got the bone spur ground out, he discovered I had a small tear in my rotator cuff tendon and he installed an anchor in the bone and put a stitch in the tear and pulled it down to the bone where it belonged. The surgery was completed on Jan. 31st. and I was in a sling until March 17th. and going to therapy 3 times per week. Needless to say, I was not allowed to use my fly rod and not allowed to tie any flies and I was going crazy, but, I knew if I wanted to ever fly fish and tie flies again, I needed to listen to my therapist and do what they requested. I am now allowed to tie flies and fly fish as long as I do not put any strain on my shoulder. I mostly just sidearm cast and roll cast and that is better than no casting. I am on the mend and will be back 100% very shortly.

    We were fishing a section on the Duck River which is the tailwaters below Normandy Dam. Since it was on the weekend, we had to contend with a lot of kayakers but did manage.

    Wayne,

    In one of your pictures, you did a "no-no" which I told you not to do! Think about it. No harm done, but, don't do it again, my friend. : )
