Though my bump from the collarbone displacement was nowhere near as raised as yours - ouch! Will completely agree with you on the pain levels though - they sent me home from the ER before I had my surgery and I had to shower by myself while I waited for my mom to get in town... I think my neighbor thought I was getting beaten as I tried to undress myself... ended up just cutting off my sports bra :) Glad to see you were able to bounce back so well - gives me hope for my own recovery!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027109435585488534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-71307141744417970422011-05-14T12:26:56.116-04:002011-05-14T12:26:56.116-04:00Ouch!

My shoulder had to be pinned and I spent 7 weeks on bedrest as it healed. I'm 11 months post accident and have run 2 halfs and 1 full marathon since then. I hope that's at least a little encouragement. I remember the days of not being able to shower, dress, or even wipe my own backside. You WILL get better and you'll be great again! I know you know that, but I know when I was healing I was looking for encouragement!Susan Tirchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004242242577298461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-45306269992107530532011-05-12T11:36:40.438-04:002011-05-12T11:36:40.438-04:00oh.my.word.

Had skin graft surgery and missed six weeks of training (leading up to my half marathon at Grandma's in Minn.) Couldn't shower for 17 days (this is when you find out who your true friends are :-) But I made it! Finished my first marathon in March. And I'm way older than you! So stay positive. You can do this!

I'm so sorry that you're sidelined for a bit but really happy that this was the worst of it. And I agree with your post today about things happening for a reason - you were jumping from big training cycle to big training cycle. Maybe your body really did want a break? I'm impressed with your perspective and amazing attitude. You'll heal up and be ready to go in no time!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615930655820867299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-102825569653642652011-05-04T13:37:18.560-04:002011-05-04T13:37:18.560-04:00Aug of last year my (then) 16yr old did the same t...Aug of last year my (then) 16yr old did the same thing playing High School football! So I know what you are going thru. it's painful! We elected to not have surgery and he rehabed it. Still has the "bump" from the collarbone but other than that he had full motion and rotation in his arm. Has to! He's a wide receiver geting ready to play in college in another year. Good luck with the surgery!!!! You'll do great!southernblondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558524139268137071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-35013577523276306802011-05-04T12:48:32.751-04:002011-05-04T12:48:32.751-04:00I'm such a lurker - I always read your blog an...I'm such a lurker - I always read your blog and never comment...so sorry and so wrong of me... but I had to comment today.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your shoulder...I dislocated my shoulder and have torn my rotator cuff (on my dominate arm) so I totally understand what you are going through.

I was the fastest bike, but people wouldn't let me pass (not because they were racing, but they were not comfortable on the bike). Because it was so much bottlenecking, I was stuck walking the bike uphill, since everyone would immediately jump off their bike as soon as the hill started, blocking my way, and with the mud, my bike had no grip after slowing down so much. Plus it was freezing.<br /><br />Overall I had fun though, but if I did it again, I'd be lining up in front of my corral.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-31108362213259033272011-05-02T22:39:17.406-04:002011-05-02T22:39:17.406-04:00OMG, so glad you are okay but so scary.
