Broke my collarbone skating today :
Hi friends,
WOW what a day! I went out skating and the trail was a little messy but not to bad, well anyway all I remember is a stick hitting my skate and I was down! As I hit, I heard cracks! Right then and there I knew I was in trouble, however my legs didn't get any of the impact thank god because I was able to skate up to the nature center and my dad picked me up and I went to the ER. Took x-rays and sure enough I broke my right collarbone. I can still type and use the computer which is good. I have to see a specialist about possibly surgery. I look at it this way, it could have been worse and I was able to skate after and get to where I needed to be! Someone was watching over me. NEVER go without your phone!
Another great thing, is I will be working on my websites. I can't go back to work for a week so I'll be staying sane by being on WA with wonderful people!
Cheers,
Krissy :)

OUCH!!! That sounds so painful!! Hopefully you won't have to get surgery. You'll be up and going soon. Take care and let the healing begin. I wish you all the best.
Sorry to hear about your accident Krissy. Glad you are going to be ok. I used to rollerblade a lot, and have had a few good spills. Luckily nothing too serious though. Hope you heal quickly. Tom
Take care Krissy. I pray for your speedy recovery.
Best wishes for your online business.

That's awful. It sure hurts no matter which part of the body is broken. Well, enjoy building your online business. Just a blessing in disguise. But take it easy, you sure will feel the impact of your fall in the days to come. I pray that you will recover fast.
OUCH! I broke my collarbone (clavicle) twice in the same place. It just stinks.
Hope you mend up quick.
Almost. But it healed in a "overlapping" fashion. The doctor said that he wanted to re-break it and reset it. But there is no casting for the collarbone. So I opted against that and have had no problems.
I broke it when I was 6 and again when I was 10. The same bone in the same place. But I was a lot younger then. Now that I am in my late 40's, who knows how it would heal.
Check with an orthopedist before you opt for surgery. I used to be a Paramedic.
Cool, thank you! YEP, I AM 39!! I also have osteopenia which is the stage before osteoporosis which sucks so we will see how this pans out!
Well, that sucks in that you broke your collar bone and got hurt. However, you were doing something you love to do and are animated about. Some will say, oh well then that is not safe and the negatives come in. Let them go, and yes very good thing about the cell phone for sure. Hope your bone heals soon and your back out there skating again.
Best wishes, Cali
Hi Cali! Yep, this is not going to stop me from being on my skates!! Hey now I got a blog post I can do on more safety!!
WA needs to provide another option to "You Like This". I do not like the fact that you are hurt AT all but with this as the only button to hit, it is the only way to get to you quickly.
SO VERY SORRY about your accident but glad you were not injured more seriously.
Sending you prayers and positive vibrations for a speedy recovery. I am sure this will be followed by many other well wishes.
Keep us posted Krissy.
All the best,
Steve
Hi buddy! Thank you :) I was pretty lucky that I didn't break a leg or even both! I had them to skate back and thank god for that! Hey more time on WA, I know its not the way but you get my drift! Trying to stay positive is what it's all about!
Thanks again my friend, I appreciate it! :)
Kindest Regards,
Krissy
Krissy - I am a FIRM believer that your mental attitude can help and WILL help you heal. You have that part down, so just try to do what is best for you to heal and know we are here to help in any way that we can.
BUT, PLEASE keep us posted on your progress.
You have weathered worse than this in your life.......you WILL recover and like you said, this gives you some "forced" WA and blog time.
Prayers and positive vibes to you my friend.
