The recovery shouldn't be too long if you don't need surgery. If physical therapy is required, follow the regimen diligently and you will be as good as new.
I suffered the same fate six years ago. I didn't see a chain across the road until too late and went over the handlebars.
I wish I could break my collarbone in a bike crash.
Since April, any such incident would probably kill me. So I've got a lovely piece of carbon fibre and aluminium hanging up underneath my house and can't use it.
What I'm trying to say is: look on the bright side.
And having just spent a lot of time in hospital... I find that you have LOTS of time to do blog posts. Well at least I was able to write them out longhand, and type them up later.
Get well soon. I did the same thing skiing in 1982. Let us know how your hospital/medical treatments go, really enjoyed your entry on the Australian healthcare system!
this explains a lot. has anyone actually seen JH and PK at the same time?

You broke your collar bone and so are not posting for a while?
ReplyDeleteWhat, are you still in the queue?
We've got some really good orthopedists here in the U.S. If you want, I can hook you up with a specialist in NYC.
Sorry for this tease and more sorry for your misfortune.
Here's to a speedy recovery.
