John (illiterate) fell hard yesterday going about 40 in North Georgia.
His wheels hit reflectors on the road and he landed hard on his left
side breaking his collarbone in pieces which will require surgery.
He's at home now. Heal up quick, John.

These meds aren't really as good as you might think. Unless percocet
is supposed to be good?

saw an xray of my sweet ass hardware. i head back for another xray in
2 weeks and i should know better then when i'll be able to ride again.
not riding is literally haunting my dreams. all i see when i close my
eyes at night are pendies. it's awful.

So, did they use truss or chamfered hardware? Hope it's not Khiro bolts...your head might pop off.

The dream thing is so true. When my Achilles was screwed and during the broken shoulder, I had the same thing happen.

Your care package is held up on a particular item, but it will go out soon. Skate related stuff, but nothing you couldn't use while you are broken.

Chamfered kind of. They actually lock into the plate. 

And it's definitely not khiro. My doctor told me anything less than titanium hardware was for bitches.
