I still say he should have landed on his head...would've done less damage

Take it one step at a time in your recovery/rehab. More haste less speed!
That month is up, have you got an update for us Oli?I?m going back to fracture clinic in a month for another X-ray. If all is well, then I ?might? be able to start getting the ball rolling with physio.
Yes, com on, update lol ! When I had my diaphragm repaired and with all my broken ribs and collarbone on the right side they wouldn't discharge me until I could cough. . F.me, that was some challenge lol.
Haha sorry for the delay in updating guys!
All positive at this stage, the 6 week X-rays show that the socket is actively healing, but there?s still a clear gap in the two pieces of bone so it?s not fully sealed up yet. Apparently fractures that go through a joint take longer than ones that don?t, but the surgeon is confident by the next checkup it?ll be all good.
Interestingly, that fractured bit of bone on the edge of the shoulder blade, that was left alone, has actually seemed to move a bit closer back to where it ought to be and appears to be reattaching in a manner of speaking. It?s definitely not going to look normal, but with a bit of luck it?ll end up fixed in place a little nearer to where it?s meant to be than initially after the crash and operation.
At this point I?m allowed to actively move the shoulder in nearly all directions and allowed to start really stretching things.
I still can?t do resistance work yet as the repairer rotator cuff tendons are likely only about 30% of their normal strength, so still have to be a bit careful for another few weeks or so. They?ll never get as strong as before, but assuming nothing goes ping will be good enough to do weight training, riding etc.
Next checkup is in about 7 weeks time, so will update again then hopefully with a final X-ray!
Rehab wise, it?s going well I think, I?ve been trying to get some movement back in the shoulder as much as possible the last couple of weeks. Will post some photos later to show the range of motion I currently have
Thanks for the update Oli, look forward to the next update in the 1st week of May!!
