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.

Ouch! Whay did you do that?

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.

Well, uh, ok, ... er,

The Vicadins obviously help!! Would you believe the EMT just sent me home?

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?
Dave (shoulders hurting just thinking about it.....)
>Too bad no one has invented a ballistic fly rod
That would be about as much fun or sport as a stick of dynamite.
Of course, ymmv.....
Dave
It's starting to look like my last option.

Can you switch cast or is it just too painfu?
Sorry to hear about the injury, glad you're OK.
Sincerely,
Halfordian Golfer
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.
Op
Why on Earth would Scott want to be dragged around behind a boat as bait?
Op :~^ )
Soon as I can drive, and sit still for a few hours!
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...

(yeah, been there, done that, fired two Harvard bone docs along the way and
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.

And here I was whinging about doing PT for a frozen shoulder. OUCH!
Heal well my friend.

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 ;-)
Trolling is awesome. Trolling wet flies on lead core behind pop gear
is really awesome.
Remember the (3) F's of Trolling...
Fatties, Fat Tires and Fat Trout
Your pal,

Or cast with your other hand?

Bill Grey
Yes, though that always feels like a stranger is doing it...
Your pal,
Halfordian Golfer
We have a lad in our local Disabled Anglers Association who only has one
arm and he ties flies and fly fishes OK.
--
Bill Grey
Wow! That's impressive. Does he use his mouth to tie knots or ?
Your pal,
TBone
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.
