Just got back from the doc. separated shoulder in laymans terms. separated A-C to be exact, this is where the collar bone meets up with the bone on end of shoulder. the 2 bones should be about an 1/8 inch or less apart, held together with ligaments. Ive streched those liaments so the 2 bones are a half inch apart. Arm in sling for 6-12 weeks, 80% chance of full recovery in this time. Thats good and bad news all in one. IF I elected surgery to tighten up the ligaments, same recovery perriod with 85% chance of full recovery, plus all the added risks and cost that go with a surgery. So I talked to the boss and Im goin back to work on Tuesday, after the 3 day weekend and going on light duty for as much as I can handle, Im hoping for 30 hours a week. Gotta make a livin ya know. :ugg:
Ive got a check up in 3 weeks and Im hoping for the 6 week senerio. The bike should be real clean by then.
