June 25th almost 3 weeks after surgery….

Weird, that I’ve had surgery already to get the screw removed and that I’m already back to the gym. Feels good to be able to sleep on either side. It was a little weird to have the screw protruding from my back, causing discomfort when I accidentally bumped it in the night. I’m really on top of the world now, and can’t wait to be back on the hill. I’ve got to make Chile happen.

Newest Collarbone X-RAY

I’m pretty excited I finally have a date to remove my clavicle screw. It is the Depuy Rockwood Clavicle Screw–and I’m very thankful for this device. It gave me the opportunity to pretty much resume my life as normally and as quickly as possible, while aiding the recovery of my collarbone and ensuring that it is aligned properly.

Broken collarbone pinned

I flew to Duke Medical Sports Clinic this week to have my collarbone fixed. I broke it almost exactly 1 month before, and was able to have surgery on 1/24/05 by Dr. Basamania a pioneer in the field of clavicle surgery and techniques for shoulder repair. I’m pretty happy about having had the ability to go see him. I’m also ecstatic that I was able to make decisions quickly enough to get in front of him before any tremendous healing had occurred. Not that any would have, because they took another before x-ray of my break, and it was still severely displaced–this bone was certainly not going to heal on its own. Thank god for a good doctor with a specialty in clavicles.

Now I’m back in NJ and can sit out of work for a few days, but my cell phone’s dead and I left my charger in NC. So my friends probably think I’ve disappeared.
