I Like Morphine

The band, not the drug. They did give me hydrocodone pain pills for my shoulder, but I only took one at bedtime for a couple of days.

Doc says my fracture is progressing as expected. I will see him again in 3 weeks.

Most collar bone breaks are in the middle part of the bone. Those heal almost always on their own with no problems. Mine is less common as it is way out at the end by the shoulder joint. This can be problematic. There are a few fragments. This can be problematic. Fortunately, they all seem to be relatively good sized fragments all in the right place. They look to fuse all back together again and I shall have no residual effects other than an asymetrical set of shoulders.

Oh horror of horrors, I may look funny in a running singlet. My life is ruined!

Wait. I already look funny in a singlet. Phew.

ah, now I know why your picture shows a bump along the posterior aspect of you collar bone... was concerned re that. Sounds like all is coming along well. You now have more in common with Vince...you share messed up left shoulders. Keep up the good work.
