My trip to the ER on Friday-long story

Hmmmm, brevet in 2 weeks, but s'posed to be in a sling for 6....

maybe my math skills are off?

I second the movement to avoid adhesive capsulitis. But DON'T go for it until the doc clears you, and DH learns how from a physio. Moving too much, too soon, or in the wrong directions could keep the clavicle from healing into place.

(trust me, you don't want surgery for an internal fixation to stabilize the clavicle.)

I said it in our "home" thread, but I'll say it again: (((((((((CC)))))))))

I second the comment - you don't want surgery on your clavicle - usually the surgery is a plate - not a good surgery.

YEOUCH!!!! Geez CC that's one hell of a crash!

And you cracked your helmet???? Thank god for helmets eh??

Best thing I can say to you is find a good physio as soon as you can to get that shoulder moving! Talk to your doctor or the Hopspital clinic about it. I'm sure they can reccommend a few good ones (or they'll just refer you to the hospital physio dept... That'll work too!)

Good luck for monday and Get well soon! And while you're recovering I'll happily play scrabulous with you! ^_^

Yeeouch! Hope you're feeling better soon cc!

OOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Ditto what the others have said. There'll always be a brevet. Heal yourself!!

((((((CC))))))
Please let your body heal before you try to do any brevets. Okay? In the meantime I'll be sending some healing vibes your way for a speedy recovery.

Take care of yourself, girlfriend, or else.... We may just have to go over there to make sure you're taking it easy. What say you, women of TE, how about a trip to Koala land to take care of CC? Hey any excuse to get out of the cold. Hehehe.

Oh alright, the plastic couldn't take it, but I've always wanted to go.

**Xrayted** · 10-26-2007, 10:33 PM

I just got home... I've been wondering what happened. So, you got up close and personal with a dude out on the bike path, eh? Couldn't just say hello as you were going by, could you? Nooooo.... Had to go and run into him and splat yourself all over the pavement. You really are a Crazy Canuck, ya know?

**lph** · 10-26-2007, 11:25 PM

oooooooooooohhhhhh - man, that sounds painful

What LBTC said - pain meds and lots of pillows. Healing this IS a brevet. You don't need two at the same time...

Wishing you lots of luck and good healing days!

What everybody else said. Think of the healing process as extreme sport. Oh, and about pain meds ... take them before the pain insists on it and you'll wind up taking less of them. If it were me, I'd also take a few along in a little pill box to that wedding you'll be attending. For a wedding I'd want to be comfortable, not so worried about people bumping into me, able to stay a while and enjoy the party, and mentally alert enough for conversations ... so just enough pain meds that the pain is a minor presence, a reminder but not an interference.

Get well soon! After all, you've got your warm summer ahead (while the many of us fall into bleak wintertime!)

**OakLeaf** · 10-27-2007, 04:45 AM

Owie! Feel better soon.

**DebW** · 10-27-2007, 05:17 AM

CC, take care, rest, and heal. You've got a concussion along with everything else. And I 3rd the suggestion to aviod adhesive encapsulitis - recovering from that wasn't fun at all, and it took 4 months.

**bmccasland** · 10-27-2007, 05:43 AM

Big Hugs {{{{{{{{{ CC }}}}}}}}

I'll send Erin over to cuddle with you. She doesn't weigh very much. Maybe there are some tasty mice to fatten her up?

Hope you feel better soon. But riding the brevet, ARE YOU NUTS?.

Go and watch, but you really need to let your body heal. That shoulder isn't going to take nicely to being bounced around. On the other hand, if you heal fast, and ride, I'll be in awe!

**Pax** · 10-27-2007, 06:01 AM

CC, glad to hear you're on the mend AND that it wasn't worse.

Take care of your body woman!!

**short cut sally** · 10-27-2007, 06:09 AM

Cheryl, REST, rest and get better-nurses orders!. Resting is much better than surgery..let it heal to avoid a longer recovery or possible complications from surgery. Wear that sling for 4-6 weeks as directed with no biking in between. HOpe you are feeling better soon..hugs
