Crash....

I crashed my bike.  After 30 years riding my bike I finally went down. Broken clavicle, 3 ribs and a lot of general soreness.  The reason I crashed is a mystery.  I blacked out just before an intersection.  Came to when I was going through and then crashed.

They haven't set my clavicle because I have to see a surgeon to do that.  Feels creepy with the bone rubbing and generally unstable.

More after the visit.

Update:

Went to the Dr. and I have a "Z" fracture of my left clavicle.  So that means surgery to put a plate in and put it all back together again.

Update:

I will stop the blow by blow commentary on the injury soon.  I know this because I got a great nights sleep.  My recliner works good to sleep in with my 3 broken ribs!  All in all I feel really good this morning.  Pain controlled, arm getting better every day and I'm already able to withdraw from some of my meds.  I'm truly blessed with great family, friends and Facebook-blog friends!

 The body is sick, but thanks to Jesus the soul is alive and well...

  1. Oh my goodness Steven...you blacked out? Scary! So sorry for your injuries, but sounds like it could be worse for sure. Praying for quick healing, killed surgeon, and good pain meds in the meantime! Keep us informed and WE ARE PRAYING!

  4. Update: I'm back from surgery. 4 breaks with 2 floating bone pieces. All fixed and cleared to go back to work on Monday.

  5. Back to work already? How did that go? Seems sleeping in a recliner is definitely more comfortable with broken ribs...my mom can testify to that! Glad the surgery got you all put back together. Now...why did you black out???

  6. Yes... Back to work on Monday after surgery on Friday. In fact I really have had no pain since Sunday afternoon! I have the arm in a sling and that's a pain. I don't like to sneeze because that hurts. I'm out of the recliner and back in bed, progress.

    As far as why I passed out. Well as soon as I recover from this I will head back to my regular doc. and see what he thinks.

    Thanks and I will keep you utd.. Hope all is well on your side of the country!
