    Default Help! Spousal Abuse-Bill won't let me play!

    Help! Help1 Help! I want to go practice casting and Bill won't let me! Just because I had hernia surgery about a month ago, he says I have to wait for full release from the surgeon before I can practice casting.

    Sheesh, the doctor said I could lift anything under 20 lbs, and all three of our cats weigh at least 15 lbs and I've been picking them up for the past two weeks. A gallon of water weighs 9 lbs. My Reddington is only a 5 wt., I don't see how that can hurt me any!

    I hope everyone will help me to convince Bill a little casting practice won't hurt me, but will actually help since it's a type of exercise, which will strengthen my abdominal muscles.

    Bill,

    Cut her some slack! Just a little casting joke there - very little.

    I think it will be fine now. Really. Seriously. Go for it.

    AND then again, BILL KNOWS BEST . He has only your best interest in mind. ( unless of course he's afraid of being bested in a casting competition by his SWMBO).

    Rushing recovery from surgery or an injury is the most common cause of complications. Follow the doctor's orders. If the doc says it's OK, then fine. If not, just wait. It could save you months of down time caused from an injury.

    Jean spent 20years as an O.R.Tech... So she Knows it All.
    I told her when the Vet says its Ok its OK.
    Besides I don't want her to beat me again this year.
    But my Rotator-Cuff is healthy this year.

    Pretty simple....just call the Doc.
    if not full release [does that mean he never wants to see you again] ask for "Casting release".

    Hey casting with less effort gets better results....you may be in trouble ,Bill

    Well, I think that answers your question. I'm sure he's seen the fish you catch and he does not want you hurting yourself lifting those 30lb trout

    Best wishes on the recovery.
