Mate if you had sustained your scuffs playing rugby your employer would be shaking your hand and offering you a night out with his hot daughter with all expenses paid...Originally Posted by F5 Dave
When I broke my collarbone at Paeroa and had a month off my employer thought I was the biggest cunt ever. At the same time there was this fat cunt I worked with that was always having a couple of days off here and there for rugby league injuries. Never a bad word said about that.

Nah its for other reasons largely beyond my fault but we now have a blame culture. Makes work unpleasant for no benefit to the shareholders.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I said the same thing to an old riding mate a couple of years ago, had a right moan, listing several places we weren't allowed to ride any more. He had a think and said: "Mate, every single one of those places was off limits back then too, we just didn't give a fuck."
I heartily recommend a "no arseholes" workplace policy. Does wonders for every aspect of your working day.

Some have been developed, some have been felled, some the entrance you could slip around before has been developed so its hard to park the van discreetly and get to where you used to go without riding through someone's yard. Golden years.

Well an x-ray today & looking good so far. Slung the sling away except for support walking if I feel I need it, but good to get some freedom back. For the first time I can move my arm past 45deg. Not that that’s easy.
Now I have to work on movement & there’s a bit of work to do to get it feeling comfortable & without pain for various movements. Physio starts tomorrow but can only risk light work on it. Another x-ray in a month & if that goes well I can do heavy lifting, but these further out shoulder end breaks are a bugger for not healing properly (hence the decision to plate).
Then I guess another 6 or so months & they’ll hook it out. I can feel it & I can feel the tendons moving over it making a clunk with certain movements, the annoying thing is I had to do quite high movements to get this last time, but this time it is in low range.
The Ribs are still giving me some grief to sleep on my back, but they can take a while to fully heal as they are always moving as you breath.
I’ll be able to start working on the bikes & if the physio goes well in a couple of weeks I’ll be able to go for a ride on the roadbike, well that’s the plan.

For 2 months after my shoulder surgery for a torn labrum it occasionally sounded like a creaky floor board.
Low personal B.M.E.P.
Ask if you can, for a final X ray confirmation of joining before they sign you off. Guy i know down here recently went in to have both collarbones pinned. He'd been signed off as healed four years back but when his partner got pissed off with his constant pain and difficult sleeping she sent him to the doc. X ray and everyone goes, fuck me, they've never joined....
His were broken by his safety harness when he flipped a TQ.

Sorry Dave, haven't looked at all the posts, but are you saying this is the injury you got in 2009??
Heck, I have broken 2 and had them mend in that time!
What a long road if that is the case....
Or did you re-break yourself in the last 12 pages?
Edit: Just found page 8...... Back in April.... good to hear this one didn't take so long....
