12th march 2008 i broke my right clavicle,you can read about in my previous post titled 'Broken Clavicle'. Today,i completed 4 weeks of my accident(ohhh what an achievement!!).I made a visit to my doctor,had my X-ray done and waited for him to give me some good news(not be taken in any other sense),i saw the bones were fused properly but was waiting for him to say something.There he spoke,"Everything seems to be healed up fine,you can remove your sling now".This is what i was expecting....his assistant removed the figure 8 splint,at last i was able to see my collar bone.There was small bump where the ends of the bone have fused together,he explained me saying that the long portion never pulled itself back down and it now doesn't align with the small end, thus the bump.It will take few months for that to heal and fuse altogether.
He asked me to lift my hand,i lifted... ouch,ouch..tat sux..,does it pain,yes it does a lot...now take it down behind your back...do it daily.Some more instructions to follow:
1.Don't lift any weights with ur right hand.
2.Don't ride:(,for 20 days:)
3.Have hot packs everyday
4.no gym (take a count of 90 days from the day of accident before you rejoin)
5.You can work...
6.Take this calcium capsules for another 20 days.
Went home,had a good bath(my underarms were smelling as a dead rat),wore a t-shirt(after sitting topless till now),had food my right hand,Overall, I feel good now.Going back to mangalore next week...
Cheers!!!
