Hey all:
broke my collar bone yesterday mountain biking with a friend. coming down an easy but steep hill i stacked at the bottom and landed on my left shoulder. luckily we were almost back to the trail head and with some help lowering my seat i was able to ride out to a waiting car that took me to kaiser.
was in the hospital within 30 mins and after xrays they sent me home with a sling and pain drugs and told me to expect a call today to schedule surgery because the bone is in three pieces and they arent close enough to heal properly otherwise.
hoping to be back in action for the barf baja trip in january :thumbup
not sure what to expect but seems like folks who get surgery for this are the most satisfied customers regarding the healing outcome. im a major chicken shit about having surgery though. anyway, ill try to document things here.
