Update on My Clavicle

I went in for an x-ray and then to see the doctor this past week. The x-ray did not reveal much, but I was told it sometimes takes up to six weeks to see results. The good news was that things are healing, the clavicle was no longer moving about freely.  Positives right!

The good news is that I don't have to wear a sling when I am at home and I am beginning rehab. The rehab exercises are mostly range of motion type things. I can work up to where I feel pain. The old "doctor it hurts when I do this, the doctor replies 'then don't do it'"treatment.

It feels good to be out of the sling, if even for a little while.*  I have no idea when I'll be cleared to take part in real physical activity again. My guess is that I should be cleared sometime in January. Feeling a little better overall.

* I still need to wear the sling when I travel about. Just for protection.
