Being on the mend is boring

The Felt faired a lot better than I did. Sunshine actually put it @ the head of the list for me.

Yesterday was a long day of Dr. visits. Started with my primary care Dr. She was pissed @ the service I got in the ER. She had to do some more wound cleaning. She also tracked down the Ortho specialist & got me in to see him immediately. He said I had a separated shoulder & a broken clavicle. He also said some gibberish about staying off the bike for 6-8 weeks. I think he was talking to Amber, because there is no way I'm staying off it that long. Good news is I can go back to work in a few weeks so don't have to worry about going broke.

My mom has been a huge help coming up & helping out with me & Mia. More Mia than me. I'm a pretty independent person & like to do things on my own. Its pretty hard for me to ask for help. I'm doing as much as I can but somethings are impossible with one hand. Amber has been very patient with me waiting until I give up to come & help. I will say being one handed & stuck @ the mercy of people driving me is getting boring already. In 2 days I've already watched more tv than I would normally watch in a month. Caught up on all the TLC & Discovery Channel shows I like to watch. I guess movies are next. Anyone have the CSC video they'd like to loan me?

Something pretty to look @ before carnage pics. Amber went red again. I likey!
This is a bruise! its located on my hip
My ankle to a big hit on the ground, still really swollen.
I think the worst part is the sling has to go over the top of all this road rash.

You can see my collarbone sticking up, the Dr. says thats permanent.

  1. If they tell you to do something with that shoulder, do it. I was in a care wreck in '97 and did not do what my friend Dr Frewin told me to do and now that shoulder is a mess. The big football game may go ahead and finish it off and prep it for surgery!

    See you tomorrow.

    Hey Scott, Hope you are on the mend. I broke my collar bone a few years back in a wreck, and it sticks up just the same. It feels like it's about to poke thru my skin all of the time. That sling must feel great on the rash!

  5. Damn Scott, I guess I should check in more often. Glad to see the baby is doing well but not good to see you like that. Hope you get better soon, we missed you at the State RR this weekend.I had a bad crash (not as bad as yours) into a guard rail head first at Rolla the weekend before last but managed to duck a little to spare myself a broken neck. Send me your address so I can send you something to pass some time. Take care Scott,
