collar update

Its been about 5 weeks since I broke my clavicle. On week 4 I was doing real well and wasn’t using my sling very much. I was getting a lot better range of movement and felt little discomfort. Then all of the sudden the bone started separating again. Not sure if I was using my arm too much or what. I assume that put me back over a week on my recovery. I’m using my sling about half the time now. I hope in another week I won’t be using it. I checked out my muscle mass for the first time and holy crap I think I don’t have any shoulder muscle any more on my right side. I still have my bicep, tricep and forearm, but that muscle off the side of my shoulder has disappeared. It used to be much larger than my left side. Guess I’ll be working out a bit once I’m healed. I’m supposed to go to the doctor for my last follow up on Friday but that ain’t going to happen as I’ll be on a plane.
