Steve,

The first XRays don't look bad like Dr. Mark said on TT, but if you have a sharp lump now something must be causing it. What counts is what its like now. The clavicle is a PIA as it is always under some tension and just about impossible to keep in place. The parts of mine moved all over before it was plated and I'm sure in some positions looked better than others. Maybe you will get lucky, mine looked a lot worse, like it exploded.

Boomer and gasgasman are great people, it was great knowing someone in town and having them help me out. If you fly down and stay across from the clinic, all you ned to do is get a cab from the airport to the hotel, and hotel to the hospital. There is a shuttle from the hotel to the medical building where the clinic is located.
I have the X-rays from the 21st coming by the end of the week. I'll post those when I get them. I can tell you it doesn't look like that anymore. The ends of the two bones are pushed up more in the middle. They meet but I have this wonderful bump. I'm not sure if this goes down or not. Maybe the broken rib is causing this...got me.

Thanks you all for the info. It means a lot.

Steve
