Maybe I'll be better healed by then
I'll help if I can. Each week is a lot better than the week before for me.
Hi Deb, short version is I fell off my mountain bike, I had a mountain biking accident when riding at Whistler BC. It was fun right up to the point where I fell over my handlebars. (Remember that old thread "Famous Last Words"?? .... "I regret nothing !!!
Except for this one last thing right nowwwwwwwwwwww aaaiiieeeeeeeeee!!!") In the fall I dislocated my shoulder (ow, btw - all I'll say is, don't ever do this if you can avoid it) and broke off my "greater tuberosity of the humurus." It's some little nub like thing on the ball of your arm socket. I'm not sure what it's function is. I figure, on the bright side, if you're going to break something, at least don't break something that you *know* you need. If I had to guess, it's probably something like a "stop" that prevents your arm from overrotating or something.
First 3 weeks or so my arm was more or less completely limp and useless. I think the dislocation was the worse thing of the two. I've got about 90% function back now, but my arm is really weak, have to do lots of exercises and stuff.
