{{{{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.

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.

I call it the wing bone too, glad to know I'm up on the correct medical term.
MP- I knew it! You shoulda come with us yesterday. We went out to Nicasio starting in Novato and winding our way back via Paradise loop and a few other fun roads. I thought about you but didn't have your number with me when we rode over the Wolf grade (actually took a steep shortcut from San Rafael that has a wooden bridge). (We were doing the "Bakery to Bakery" ride hosted by Mark Birnbaum)
At any rate, I'm sorry to hear this grim news. I sure understand how you musta felt when they had to cut one of your fav jerseys. I'm glad to hear it was just a fracture and that you'll probably be back on the bike in 4-6wks. I found spinning to be my one saving grace last year when I couldn't ride. At least you'll get a good cardio out of it.
Keep us posted on the ortho visit tomorrow. Meanwhile get lots of rest.
Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

That sounds like something that's going to need surgery. Here's hoping not.
Karen
So sorry - what a bummer to have that kind of injury! Hope you heal fast

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.

Ouch!! That is a hard one to break. You hit solid. You're right, you probably saved your clavicle by not putting your arm out.
I hope you are better soon and can get back on the trainer quickly.
FYI: As for the jersey, ladies, there are many ways to cut off a shirt. If you have the presence of mind at the time, have them cut near the seam on one side, right up the armpit. Or if you are sleeveless, have them cut along the seam across the top of the arm on both sides and pull it down your waist. Then it can be trimmed and sewn to save the shirt. I learned that from a veteran medic/cyclist I used to work with.
Good luck and feel better soon, MP.
