centralsaskhunter Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 On December 19th, 2009, I was in a single vehicle rollover. The road curved, and the driver I was with fell asleep at the wheel, and we went straight off the curve, hit a canal going into a lake, rolled end over end three times and rolled sideways once over a rock embankment. I was wearing my seatbelt, and I was asleep in the passenger seat. My friend was not wearing his seatbelt, was ejected from the car, had a brain bleed, a cracked sternum, and dislocated his elbow. I dislocated the radius bone in my right arm, fractured it by the base and shattered part of my funny bone. I had surgery on Jan. 20th, 2010. My friend is back at home, and is doing very well. My question is I have a limited budget and I need to get a new fishing rod and reel. I haven't been able to work since the accident, and I only have about $200 to my name until my insurance money comes. The sport and leisure show (an outdoors tradeshow) is beginning this weekend and I was wondering if anyone knew of a decent rod and reel that can be used with minimal stress on the elbow. I Need to reel right handed for a year, as I will be doing physio and am not allowed to work my elbow too hard or i will need reconstructive surgery again. Any help is appreciated!

Turkeygirl Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Honestly, not that I know off....I'd avoid straining the injury until you've got the clear from the Dr.....You do not want to make it worse or cause the bones to heal improperly and out of line. You gotta live with that arm the rest of your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
