I’ve ended up hospitalized with a pulmonary embolism. Doctors suspect long term damage to the right side of my heart as a result. There’s a high chance I will be on blood thinners for the rest of my life. I have no idea how much of my stamina I will get back and how quickly I’ll get it back. I’m pretty upset about missing peak cutthroat and chum fishing. In fact before I went to the urgent care I was kicking myself for forgetting to bring my 8 weight spool, I was planning on buying a new line and fishing the day after.
Have any of you guys been through something similar? How has it affected your fishing? Fishing and cuts go together, so I’m worrying about how being on blood thinners is gonna affect me. How long did it take before you were up walking and casting again? Doctors aren’t too worried about me being able to fish, but I’m wondering what sort of extra precautions I’ll need to take while wading, especially in current
