Hey guys, I got my laptop working in my room.
A major thanks to Robby for stepping up to help me out, what a pal! Great people on this forum!
I feel pretty good, go for a followup at 1:00 today and some X Rays, in
structions, and some PT torture. I got a bone graft from my shin and I feel that more than my shoulder, but not bad at all, better than expected.
Dr. Mark is a real character, has a sense of humor. I think he did seven surgerys yesterday, including at least two other out of state patients.
Roscoe, yeah, he said that the average rider can expect to break at least one clavicle in his career, and there is nothing you can do as far as gear for better protection. Most MC crash clavicle breaks are of the "high energy" type with displacement that need surgery. Just get good insurance for repairs.
Steve, since this is the third cut on my clavicle, I may need more than normal recovery time, won't know until I talk to him today. I have a lot of gym time to make up and a few lbs to lose, so we'll see about Sandy Lane. This has been such a long hard road I don't wan't to screw it up now. I'll be back ASAP! Oh, I'm already going to have to explain setting off the metal detector, no foil wrapped fish tacos!
Going to dinner tonight with Robby and Girard, don't know about the "Hurricanes" though, I think dragging my ass though the airport like I am now is bad enough without a hangover on top of it.
Some good food and a couple beers may be more appropriate.
Thanks for all the good wishes!
