Default I have a broken collarbone.

Clavicle fracture. I was taking out the trash a week ago last Tuesday, missed a step, and fell. I saw my orthopedic surgeon yesterday. You can clearly see the fracture in the X-rays. I may need surgery and a plate. It hurts quite a bit.

Raptor, sorry to hear. I broke my collar bone snowboarding about two years ago. I snapped it clean in half and had one end poking out of my skin on top of my shoulder! I had surgery a week later and had a metal rod inserted inside of the bone and had it there for 12 weeks. Not to get into all the details, but I think breaking it bad enough to justify getting surgery is actually better in the long run. My collar bone is (nearly) straight and the pain was gone after the surgery.

Good luck to you...

Thanks, guys. My surgeon is going to see me in a month and decide whether or not I need surgery.

RB walking thru Home Depot yesterday this oldie came on their muzak system > I was singing along and editing



Hey girl, I bet you
There's someone out to get you.
You'll find him anywhere
On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store.
He'll say "Excuse me, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the Raptor.
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after.
So, he starts his rappin'
Hoping something will happen.
He'll say he needs you,
A companion, a girl he can talk to.
He's made up his mind.
He needs someone to sock it to.
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the Raptor.
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after.
He's made an impression,
So he makes a suggestion.
"Come up to my place
For some coffee or tea or me."
He's got you where he wants you.
Girl, you've gotta face reality.
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the Raptor.
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after.
