Ok, so I was doing a handspring last night, and I popped my clavicle out, and then popped it back in, and now it really kind of smarts in a big way. \ ---

So there I was at rugby practice. Full contact practice, anyways I get the ball passed to me. So now I’m thinking I’m about to run some fools over. So I decide to run right at team-mate **A**. **A** tackles the hell out of me and I go down with a seperated shoulder. As I set the ruck team-mate **B** kicks my dislocated shoulder. Now my collar bone is broken also. So I go to the Hospital and get x-rays, drugs and a warm bed. Next day when I see the x-rays collar bone looks like a broken no. 2 pencil. Fast forward 5 years, collar bone _still_ looks like no. 2 pencil only taped back together at 84.36[sup]0[/sup]. ---

Umm doesn’t that make you look a bit odd? (worry, no offense, but 84.36 is a pretty steep angle) And don’t they set those in some way? Or is it just luck and trying REEEEEEAL hare not to use that arm? ☹ ---

:o I meant to say “sorry…” not “worry…” I think it’s beyond worrying now. Unless you’re talking about my spelling. ---

I’m sort of hoping nothing is broken. I’ve just taken some heavy-duty pain-killers with a nifty muscle relaxant. Hopefully, this baby will be feeling better soon! In the mean time: \ Al.
