WTB Left Clavicle

[Petorius]

Preferably in like-new condition, repaired will also work in a pinch. I know some of you have kids spares, let me know what you've got!

[isaac_]

Didn't know it was you until ways after. At least you're in somewhat of a good mood about it to be making jokes.

You going to natural way or going to turn into ironman?

Heal up quickly!

[Petorius]

Thanks, I need to get in with an orthopedist but the preliminary assessment from Concord is the Ironman route.

[nhbubba]

Sucks bud. Heal up.

[Falko]

Wow, sorry man. You are the second person I know who's getting screwed in the past 3 months.

I see hips, knees, and even glass eyes all the time, clavicles not so often but put it in as saved search and you never know.........

[Jewcati]

DUDE! that sucks...what happened?

[Tas]

Pete, please keep the bike upright in T3 okay?!?!

[Petorius]

I was evaluating Buddha's T1 braking technique applied to T3

Understandable HOWEVER, don't replicate that with those results. I noticed your bike behind the air fence when I was coming thru during the red flag.

[nhbubba]

So you didn't believe me when I said "don't do that, mmkay".

[Paul_E_D]

So, you mastered Bubba's technique in one try? Nice! Sorry to hear about the collarbone, Pete. Here's to a speedy recovery.

[Tricky Mike]

I have yet to regret the Concord ironman route myself. I'd say do it. Especially if you have other broken stuff in the mix.

[Petorius]

Just got back from the ortho, he said 6-7 MONTHS before I can ride or play sports. I was expecting 1-2 months max based on the experiences of others. Should I get a second opinion from another doc?

[Tas]

He said months and not weeks?? That seems like a long time. I'll ask my doc and see what he says.

[Kurlon]

That was my doc's advise as well with mine. Doesn't mean I listened 100%...

Basically if it doesn't hurt, you may not be causing trouble... or you may be, that's the tricky bit with collar bones.

...holy crap...I work in the industry and the *right* raw materials alone for that implant are probably more than $68.

That's scary, I hope there really aren't unscrupulous materials managers at US hospitals that are ordering these...

[carsick]

I have a SuperBike legal modified one, but I'm using it for the rest of this season. I don't know the specifics of your injury, but that diagnosis sounds like bullshit. Too much ass-covering. Definitely get a second opinion and stress that you are an active person who needs full mobility by like August 15th.

[maxim_X]

I heard some people race with it a few days after surgery. FWIW they told me 6-8 months with my rotator tear.

[Imbeek]

That was my doc's advise as well with mine. Doesn't mean I listened 100%...

But in my case (different shoulder issue) my second recovery, after I destroyed his first handiwork, was longer than my first was supposed to be.

Good luck healing up!

Well shit... did you break your collarbone or fuck his daughter?

Heal up!

[nhbubba]

This sucks.

$68 hip from eBay marked up to a few $k to the patient.

Atleast it's not cheap chineses garbage.... On second thought, I'd put a lot more trust in Chinese crap then I would something from Birmingham Alabama

[The Architect]

I feel your pain! Broke my right one on two places. I'm on week six and the bones haven't started to fuse!!!!! They want me to sit still. How the f@#k do you do that?

I wanted the hardware installed but they advised against it. And so did many others I spoke to.

Who are you seeing? I also went to Concord and am dealing with Dr Noordsij. They say he's the best.

Oh, by the way, it still hurts. It feels like I have a small man standing on my shoulder with his heel digging into my collar bone. There's a little part of me that wishes I got the surgery. I'd be playing golf right now.

[sedanman]

If you look on ebay you can find the tools to install the hip and knee parts from time to time. Look up "glass eye" if you want to be really grossed out. I think a hip would make an awesome shift knob in a manual car.
