Yeah, the dislike button is a bit vague. Does it mean “the guy who posted this is a jerk”? Or “Oh noes. Bad stuff happened. I don’t like bad stuff”?

Why not just rename it to “Oh, no”? Then we’ll get the option to Un-Oh-No posts that we’ve oh-no’ed

Okay, okay…last one. Went to see the orthopedist today. He didn’t like the angle of the x-ray the hospital took. It showed a thin, almost hairline, fracture in my clavicle. So he took another x-ray. New image shows butterfly fracture and significant displacement (3cm).

Surgery next week. No bike for 3 months. F Me.

Major ouch – I feel your pain. Want to hit the “Oh No” button.

[KayakCyndi]

Definitely warrants an “Oh-No”. So sorry. Hope it all heals up quickly.

Sucks! Been there!! Behave! You will live with how your bone heals for the rest of your life – take time to heal it well.

I smashed mine flipping over handlebars on a beach in San Fran. Landed on that wet sand right at the edge where the waves barely reach. You know, the sand that is as firm as concrete. :rolleyes:

Seeing x-rays like that makes my stomach sink. Ow ow ow.

Hang on.
3 months sounds a bit extreme.
My collarbone surgery involved putting things back together with a roughly 5″ bolt down the middle and sutures wrapped around the broken area to hold some of the stray bits close. I was commuting and carrying a backpack within a month or so, no worries.
Good luck.

You’re not a real cyclist til you’ve busted a collarbone.

Subby’s return to normal will depend on whether they put in permanent screws/pins or temporary ones. The former allows you to return to normal activities a lot faster but you’re stuck with potentially setting off the scanners at the airport for the rest of your life; the latter takes longer but may require minor surgery to remove them and you’re stuck in a sling/cast longer. Neither is any fun.

Hope you aren’t in too much pain Subby.

Honeybadger6 just finished the Cap2Cap century in Richmond (her first!). Although the forecast called for thunderstorms, we saw nary a drop of rain, and it ended up being warm and pretty sunny all day. It was a little breezy, which made the last third or so a bit of a bear, but Meg managed about a 15.5mph moving average.

Well what do you know? Sometimes the answer to the age old question is “Yes, it is a banana in my pocket”.

I think we can also see Tim’s speed secret too. He has a string pull windup motor built in. Pull the tab and zing there goes another KOM.
