Hi guys,
I thought I had best send you a quick update on how I am. I have just been to the Hospital yesterday to get another update and more x-rays. It looks like the collarbone is ok and normal, and seems to be healing well. The wound (from the footpeg breaking through my leathers) in my armpit on the same side as the collarbone is healing well with no infection, although the scar is very tight from where some flesh had to be cut away to clean it up. This means that at this point the scar is limiting my movement on the left side, not the collarbone. I'm hoping that this will loosen up as I can move it more, because I don't want to have to go back for a skin graft to expand it!
On the other side of my body, the break in my humerus is a bit more serious. Because it is so high up the bone (essentially the ball joint of my shoulder has broken off the bone) and the break is so far through the bone, the blood flow through the break has been comprimised so it is very slow to heal. Doctors say that I should be OK to ride a bike again in about three months. It seems like a long time, but I think that I will have plenty to think about in the meantime!
On the plus side, I have been driving the car again, so I just have to get my exitement from that for now!
Hopefully I will get back to you soon with some better news.
Cheers,
Jay Lawrence.
