Along the way, I'll learn to cast left handed, but there are still
some important things (mending, reeling) that I have to see if my
right hand can do.

I'm very sorry to hear it, Myron, but don't give up. At the age of
twenty five, I couldn't walk more than a hundred yards without a stick,
and I was given no reason to think that this would ever improve. At
much more than twice that age , I do long distances - was walking in
the Hindu Kush this spring (not very big stuff, but all the same) and
expect to be herding sheep up from the Camargue to the Cevennes in
France in the spring.

I learnt to cast left-handed just because of some stretches where it's
impossible to catch anything any other way. It's not impossible.

Human bodies are much tougher and more adaptable than we think.
