Ouch, sorry to hear it.

At your age you should know better than to try aerials
in the half-pipe on your skateboard. ;-)

Sorry to hear that, Scott. There's a story there somewhere. d;o)

OTOH, Jo's ankle is healing very well. She now has an air cast and is
walking without crutches.

Heal well and quickly. The fish will still be there.

In which case, I'm guessing it could have sucked a lot worse.
Sorry you're out of action. Glad you're (relatively) ok.

Bummer! Can you rent a harpsicle till your clavicle is repaired? ;)

Too bad no one has invented a ballistic fly rod.

Get well, soon.

After the accident? I can not imagine a seat belt causing a break
like that. However, as John has said, it obviously could have been
worse.

Details?

Can you switch cast or is it just too painfu?

Sorry to hear about the injury, glad you're OK.

Yes. There's really not muh they can do, if things haven't changed since I
broke mine back in the 80s. I was given an arm and shoulder brace and told
to not to climb pallet racks. Did I listen? No, and now my left shoulder is
less wide than my right, as I separated the break and the bone ends
over-lapped and fused together over time.

I can switch cast, but at this point I'm really one-handed. More worried
about wading than casting.

Thanks for the good wishes, all.

Just fractured - or displaced fractured?

I could tell you a horror story - complete with an 11 month wait to hear the
surgeon's notable punch line that "It looked like a bag of marbles" - but I
won't - unless forced ;-)

But a happy ending, with the only prevailing effect that I still set off metal
detectors...

finally got repaired at Lahey Clinic by a kid 15 years younger than me :-)

Yikes! Sorry to hear that. I did the same thing last year (bicycle
versus car--I was on the bike). This is what I ended up with:

Since it was my left arm I was back fishing within a couple of weeks.
Wading across the Green River was a little bit dicey but there are
worse ways to die.

Yup - that's kinda what mine looks like - although mine is more in front of
the bone than on top of it, it's longer, and it has two more screws - 'cuz
there were a lot more bone pieces involved :-(

/daytripper (If I stretch the skin over it I can usually freak out an
observer when they make out all the screw heads - great family fun ;-)

Wow! That's impressive. Does he use his mouth to tie knots or ?

He sometimes uses his mouth when flyfishing to hold onto the retrieved
line. He no longer does this as he contracted some sort of illness that
was water borne - no serious after effects fortunately.

I'm not sure how he manages with knot tying.
