Default Smileyman's House of Pain!

So as many of you know I had a lowside with broken clavicle Oct 25th. There were lots of complications, most of the bone was shattered and I have been working hard to get better. Here are the highlights

















DR said yesterday we would wiat 4 more weeks to see if my Exogen Bone stimulator would regenerate some bone and then plan for removing the plate and rehabing the shoulder...I should be good as new by May 1.

It happened Oct 25, i lived with it until they decided to work on it Jan 8. There has been considerable discomfort...The plate helped stabilize it but is irritaing on its own account. Ice packs and Ibuprofen help, sometimes i break down and get drunk, which i like to do anyways...

Gee, I can't imagine why

Some of us mortals call that PAIN!

I sincerely hope for some pity handbra action...

Anyway if this works on schedule I will have almost 6 months tied up in recovery and probably more in rehab. I was in pretty good shape when I crashed but now i feel flabby.

My bike is still getting put back together as well might be whole by next week some time.

quick version? from me?
I was hauling ass, reeling in an R1 and Gsxr750 in some tight stuff. I wasnt on the gas or brake, just changing directions and the front folded, quick like. I landed on my left shoulder, bounced, flew 30 yds and landed on my back in a ditch.
