I just had a baaaad crash...

A REAL BIG OUIE!!! And welcome to the club. My sympathy and wish you a speedy recovery.

Thing to be thankful about. You are young and in good athletic shape. So you will heal much faster than what the orthopedic doctor tells you. 3 month to 6 month did he say??You'll be pretty mobile in about 2 month (my recovery time the first go around). Eat and drink lots of caclium fortified food.

I am amazed how you could tolerate the pain of removing your jersey in one piece. And I am really suprised that you could be writing on the same day.

Really do take it easy for the next week. During the day, you might want to take naps with your upper body propped up a bit. Its really hard to get up if you lie down. For now, try to take your mind off the shoulder by watching TV or listen to music. And don't try to use your shoulder for few days. Let it settle down. Time will come soon enough for PT. And don't be alarmed if you have a huge bruise on half your back and on the front.

I wish you a speedy recovery and sweet dreams for now.

Sincerely,
Shawn

Please give us an update once you get back home!

I broke my collarbone way back when - fall off a horse - & it jumped out of place once it was set. Setting it hurt so bad I did not tell anyone it had slipped - so now I have non-matching collarbones.

Good luck & heal fast!
