drat - shattered scapula

[RoadRaven]

Oh Mallio
What a rotten thing to happen!

Wishing you FAST healing... and in the mean-time you will make a fabulous person in the SAG-wagon
Like RnR says though, at least you can hop on the trainer and your legs won't be in total withdrawal

[melissam]

Bummer!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

One question, though: are you going to switch teams? Maybe from Team Embolism to Team Trauma?

Tell Coach Troy 'hey' for me!

Did the ER staff say, "You again?"

I'm waiting to hear what the GrandPois has said about your crash history. I'm sure he's at least thinking something. Though he's probably pretty shook up. Hubbies generally age very quickly when their wifie-poos take a serious bump. I think Bubba would say I've aged him about 100 extra years.

How's the bike, etc.? Any good meds? You're becoming such an expert . . .

No familiar faces in the ER - it has been a whole year and a half!

Interesting fact - breaking of the scapula accounts for fewer than 1% of all bone breaks. Tough bone to break - usually the collarbone goes, but all my years of horseback riding may perhaps have perfected the "tuck and roll" fall.

The GP was immediately behind me when it happened. He though, but did not say, "I told you so." (he had warned me of slick corners earlier in the day.) He's been very helpful. This is the first time I have ever had a serious injury that will affect my ability to do normal life things. I've never even broken a bone before.

That must have been some fall to break your shoulder blade. Did you get style points at least ?? (sorry, couldn't resist)

Sending you a big virtual getwellsoon hug.

[Pax]

Holy COW!! That sounds like one yucky break!

Hope you heal up soon, your Bonnie will miss you.

[maillotpois]

yeah, Queen, wish you could come ride her for me while I'm laid up!!

[crazycanuck]

Owieeee

I'm sorry you're injured! Poo! Take care of yourself(some wine with the california ladies perhaps?) and enjoy coach Troy!!!

[bmccasland]

MP - Oy! The scapula is one tough bone to break. So you got style points for your tuck and roll but couldn't stick the landing?

Hope you get to feeling better soon, and then you can rediscover how much "fun" PT is!

[velogirl]

ouch, Sarah! how the heck does one break a scapula and get road rash on her face? do you remember what happened? and at least it happened in winter, right? I bet all the extra clothes saved you from some serious road rash.

heal quickly!

[Tuckervill]

And you're able to sit and type? Sounds very painful! I'm sorry it happened. Sending the healing vibes your way!

[maillotpois]

And you're able to sit and type?

one handed. what else am I going to do?

[IFjane]

Oh Sarah! I am so sorry!!! Sending healing vibes from the east coast - heal quickly, rehab even more quickly and hang in there! {{{{HUG}}}}

[crazycanuck]

Hey Sarah,

How long will you be doing one handed typing for?

Sending sunny days your way. It's going to be 38C for the next few days so close your eyes & dream of warm beaches & soft sand

[maillotpois]

cc - 4 - 6 weeks per the ER doc. the ortho i see tomorrow is the real judge. what about you? how long were you 1 handed? I am just so gld my collarbone's fine. I really landed well.

DH noted I fell so fast I didn't have time to put a hand out. so that saved my collarbone.
