Ouch!
I knew there was a reason why I didn't ride like a mentalist any more. You've just reminded me what it was...
Anyway, get well soon.

Sorry to hear about that Alison. Hope you mend soon. In the meantime here is a great video of some eastern block guy sliding a big twix. I like the music...

more shit.... i was discharged from datrford hospital on the 15th, but i was concerned about my collar bone as i had seen the x rays and no one was listening to me ( i m a nurse) so i went straight to my gp on the friday with a disc of x ray copies i was in a lot of pain. he took one look and sent me straight to a and e after phoning to tell them i was coming, once there they could not believe i had been discharged as the bone was pushing to come out of the skin, they admitted me straight away, arranged surgery for sat morning, plated my collar bone kept me in over night and then discharged me with follow up sunday, i feel so much better after having it plated, lowpain and now it will heal, it wouldnt have if it had been left, i am so angry with my treatment by the arrogant orthopedic consultant who disregaded my concerns and said to just leave it, could have caused a lot of problems and it should have bee plated straight away. even thinking of getting rid of the FZ

I'm really sorry about your shoulder. I'm assuming that you're going to lodge an official complaint against the guy? If you didn't have some medical background, you may have thought this was "normal" and ended up with a permanent disfigurement. A real shame if you get rid of the bike but I understand that sometimes it's not worth it.

Sorry to hear that Allie, get well soon. Darent Valley has an appalling reputation. Bemsee's circuit doctor sent me there for X-rays after a crash in practice; she told me it was known as 'Death Valley'

I have had both mine plated (now removed) and except for the scars they are fine.....I had a broken collarbone for nearly a year once over and this is true....ended up\in Liverpool Uni Teaching hospital because the bone growth had 'captured' the major nerve that runs up near there...drastice surgery nerve guy plus bone guy.....on well everything fine now....
Get well soon Nurse lady ;D
