I hate starting new posts here.
Crashed on a rocky downhill Sunday making a pass on another rider. Didn't see the flat rock that caused me to loose the front end. Went down HARD on my right side. I could hear things crack. After I got my breath back and the shock subsided, I could feel the big gap and lump in my collar bone. Got out, home, and to the ER which was useless. Saw the ortho today. Broken in 4 places wirh a big gap in one of them. I can't beleive I'm not having surgery.
Doc says no big deal it will heal OK, not worth the risk. Hope he's right. I'm in a clavical strap for a few weeks. He said I should be functional in 6 weeks but no high stress for 6 months. Season is DONE.
