Holy cr&p.... that is as close as I want to get to a Broken collar
bone.... I had a hairline fracture in my shoulder once and that was 6
weeks until I could ride a normal bike again. Good luck with the
rehab.

I was told as soon as I could do it without tooooo much pain to do some
weights to help out with the muscles in that area.

two after my collarbone incident!

Too many calories... gotta use this couch time wisely, and to slim
down to something around this level:

cheers MOz.. Hopefully I wont need the upper body strength, I need to
become a pure climber!!! Alternatively, I'll eat take away all day
and go get myself a track bike

It was up against a steep embankment.. which was soft..ish.
Head/shoulder took all the impact. Helmet was doa.

Sorry about your mishap.

How come that in so many of these offs reported, the helmet suffers a
catastrophic failure, and people seem to think that that's a good thing?

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...

I had mine pinned after a simiar three piece break, nearly two years
ago now. Was back at work on the monday after friday surgery was back
on the bike after about three weeks, but very gingerly. Went skiing
with Dr's permission one week after surgery (but somewhat paranoid)!

General achyness for around 6 months, now just a tiny bit cold
sensitive.

Good luck.

depends on what you mean, failure??... or actually doing its job...lama
said doa, that suggests it did its job., not failed... helmets are
oncers...

for the ideal have a look at what Franklin says
http://www.helmets.org/ideal.htm
according to F, such an "ideal" isnt made..

oh sh*t are we going to go over all this again......

Helmets don't do anything for you, the reason everyone wears them is
because they look cool. Oh there is a law thing as well. Mine just
smashed to bits when I was hit by the car, what good is
that!?!?/sarcasm
