Todays happy snap... me!

...well not that happy..... I overcooked a corner... solo effort, so I
didn't take anyone down.. arh well, thats racing!

I am seeing a specialist Monday to discuss my options of pinning it so
I can get back on the bike sooner... anyone ideas of recovery time with
pins/plates? Indoor trainer for the next few weeks I guess.


argh,

argh,
lamaCrap - that's a bad one! I will leave specialist medical opinions
to others, but from what I understand a plate would have you playing AFL
in under 6 weeks - seems like you're actually better off stuffing it up
like this than getting an undisplaced fracture (like I did getting
intimate with a car ).

You should post that on the other forum too!
(if you can type - that's the other major inconvenience)

eeewwwiiee!!!

Why are your ribs up_there????

oh wait, hangon a minute...

bummer, dude.

Slings gimme the ****s. done my right/shoulder arm 6 times and my left
twice so feel your pain/frustration

from my experience (4 plates, 5 pins. so far...) the plates work well
IF they can drill a clean hole for the bolts/pins. I had a couple that
were loose and so moved around a bit, resulting in a crap mend and
consequently mandatory rebreak to get a straight arm again

My best advice is INSIST on periodic X-rays to make sure everything is
doing what it should be. 6-8 weeks is too long to wait to see if
everything turns out OK. We aint bakin' cakes here folks!

At least you can toggle the settings over to play with your good hand
in Wii

Oh, and you can probabaly look forward to not being able to get stuff
out of your jersey pockets on that side for a while to come too
(sorry to be bearer of bad news)

and seeing as everyone else is avoiding the obvious...

Ow, ow, ow - that hurts to look at!

So, did you land on your shoulder or was
it a hands out in front jobbie?

I've had a few stacks but never broken
anything but skin so far (including an
over the bars stack at ~40kph on my fixie).

May your recovery be swift and complete.

DeF.
