Broken. For real.
This is what your clavicle is supposed to look like:
This is what mine looks like after a little bike crash yesterday morning:
I’ll explain more about the accident/fall soon. Thankfully, other than the clavicle, I’m fine and my bike escaped totally unscathed.
Right now, I’m in a sling, doing research to find an orthopedic surgeon to evaluate whether I should have surgery or simply let it heal. In most cases with a broken clavicle, they just let it heal without surgery and it usually eventually comes back 100%. But there are some potential advantages to surgery. And some risks.
Either way, I’m out of commission for the near future. What a bummer. But broken bones heal and – at some point – I’ll be back, good as new!
oh no!! Sounds like you’re in good spirits, hope you get good news from the doc. I had a crash last week, but was lucky that other some deep bruises, my bike took most of the impact. Rest up!
Ugh. Sorry to hear the news. Maybe you can take this opportunity to become part robot?!
This is why triathlons suck.
Haha, just kidding. Seriously though – you’re mentally tough and have one of the better outlooks on rough times out of folks I know. You’ll get thru this speedbump and come back stronger than ever.
Heal fast!
what happened with your collarbone?
