Default Broken collarbone

Jeff,
I broke my collar bone on two different occasions about a year or two apart.
I was about your wife's age at the time. It will take about 3 months to heal,
unfortunately it will seem alot longer, especially at first. Getting up out of bed
will be painful for a few weeks at least.
Hopefully the doctor gave her a shoulder harness that pulls her shoulders back, holding them in the position they should be. This is better than a sling
and feels better too, I think it is called a figure 8, not sure.
