collarbone update-9 weeks

[pantablo]

went to the doc today and its healing up really well! whew...

although he said no contact sports yet and I have to be careful on the bike/moto. He doesnt recommend riding yet but as long as it doesnt hurt I will be fine. He did say though that if I take one good hit to the shoulder not only could I rebreak it but the bones will likely come through the skin. hmm. So IF I ride it'll have to be at the back taking it easy. I think I can do that, yeah.

this why I liked keeping a cruiser around for a long time.  When injured, a chushy, soft and easy ride around some scenic back-roads was always nice and it got my riding fix...mainly, though, it prevented me from injuring myself further.  A couple years ago I got it good from a meandering field lark and and bruised a bunch of my inards up.  I was very thankful to have my easy riding maxim at the time.

Be careful Pablo! I disregarded my docs advice when I broke mine a few years ago and started playing soccer 3 months or so after I broke it - got hit hard, and rebroke it. I have a dime sized chip in the bone now from the second break.

I'm glad to hear you're healing up well.    If you can't take it easy, don't ride!

Taking a long time to heal?  I thought you'd be 100% before this

Did you see the pic of his x-ray from a few weeks ago. It looked terrifyingly horrid to me (good thing I'm not a doc), but his doc said it was ok....

my doctor specifically said no soccor or football when he was referring to contact sports...

Odd, that.  Soccer is not a contact sport.  Maybe he meant to warn you against a sport that WASN'T designed for girls and communists?

+1, be careful, and heal up proper. No rugby.

soccer can be worse than football, you american wuss' need all that padding. at least rugby players are real men.

My eyes just rolled so hard that BOTH of my contacts fell out and I kind of gagged a little.

Warn me next time you write something so mis-informed.

Glad to hear it's healing well...  I think I'd fight the urge to ride a little longer...

[pantablo]

sure, you can say that...you're RIDING.

[makenzie71]

Never played soccer, eh?

[RVertigo]

sure, you can say that...you're RIDING.

Yeah...  You got me there.

But, at least it's cold and rainy here...  Does that make it any better for ya'?

[pantablo]

no.

Nah.  I did play football in college, however.  And I was a wrestler in high school.  And you guys can feed me as much crap as you want about soccer but I ain't buyin' it.  I'd sooner believe that there are wild herds of unicorn living in Canada.
