[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}}}}

[sbctwin]

{{{{maillotpois}}}} Sorry to hear of your accident. I was contemplating commuting to work tomorrow and then I remembered the fall on ice I had when I decided to quit the commute until better temps. Luckily, I was only bruised. Let's hope your healing comes along quickly.

Oh Sarah,

Heal quick. You are not the first to have a "trophy" jersey cut off. Still its really SAD.

Heal fast,
Smilingcat

Gosh, I am so sorry to hear about your injury. Feel better soon. Positive energy heading your way.

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

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.

[crazycanuck]

I hate to be a dork but the scapula's at the back of your body @ the opposite side of your ribs ???

MP-I had the sling on for about 3 weeks. One handed typing's not so hard and actually can type faster one handed

Keep us updated on the one handed typing!

I hope you're able to do some water walking or something to keep you moving.

scapula is the shoulder blade - the thing that sticks out the back. ER doc kept calling it the "wing bone". scapula fractures account for less than 1% of all bone breaks - most likely to occur in men 35 - 45. motorcycle and auto accidents highest cause.

[snapdragen]

I call it the wing bone too, glad to know I'm up on the correct medical term.

Isn't Petite'pois old enough to ride captain on the tandem and you can sit back as one handed stoker?

Sorry about the crash, but it sounds like between falling technique and proper winter layering things could have been far worse.

How's the bike ?

[jobob]

Owie sorry that happened. Feel better soon.

Pssst ... that all happened over five years ago. mp healed up nicely. She might even be up to sweeping by now ...

But the world has changed, and I have left my prior career and am taking all the fun pre-medical classes - which means I have an exam on these bones and the muscles that hold them a week from today Bet I won't forget this one
