If anyone remembers about seven weeks ago I laid my bicycle down on a paved county road and fractured my collarbone. Last week I had a follow up x-ray and Thrusday my Doctor called to tell me that it has not healed to her satisfaction. While it doesn't hurt when probed and I have decent range of motion it does feel slightly "off" at times. I have been good and not lifted anything heavier than a six pack with that arm /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
When I return from Vacation Thanksgiving week an Orthopedic representative should be stopping by my shop (no appointment necessary) and fit me with a bark collar looking thing. I assume it is a magnetic resonance device. Or it is one of those Thrall submission collars from Star Trek. At least I am pretty sure that is the device since the only other thing the company (Orthofix) makes are those traction bar devices that screw into the bones and that wouldn't be delivered to my door and installed.
Vets have been using the technology for a few years here and I knew that in Euorpe it was used on people for a while before the FDA approved it.
I have given notice at work that no metal is to be tossed at me to make it stick to my shoulder /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
