Congratulations @shimceltic on an impressive ride!

 

[shimceltic]

Thanks, was the longest I've done in years!

Well, might as well apply to medical school or apply for the Superman role. Here is the latest xray from 2 days ago, showing what I suspected 3 weeks ago. Still waiting for a specialist to comment on it, but it doesn’t look too great IMHO.

Hey Brusgaard, sorry I’m a little late to the party.

I hope the recovery is going as well as possible mate.

Hey Brusgaard, sorry I’m a little late to the party.

Will know more Tuesday as I have an appointment with an Othorpedic surgeon at a private hospital. Leg pain is gone, too bad it took my fitness with it, when it left.

Sounds like you were really unlucky.

I will have a CT-scan when my vacation is over, likely the week after next, and then surgery soon after that.

The dislocation is around 25 mm, and normally insurance cover anything above 20mm, so here’s hoping!

He also told me that there (back then) was a long fracture along the bone sideways (sorry don’t know then correct English term), but that it of course had healed a long time ago. It is pretty obvious from the first x-ray, now that I know it.

He has operated on many cyclists, surfers and other people (including his own daughter), and told me that the pain I still feel in the area could just as well be related to the crash impact on the other bones in the area.
The collarbone was broken from the right side impact when I landed - not from the front. He also told about a (pro) cyclist he operated on, where it took 12 months before he was back at his normal watts. Guess everyone isn’t a Vingegaard. 🙂

I didn't ask him specifically, but will next time. IF I can get on the bike, I don't THINK it should be an issue.

He told me that normally you can skip using the Collar'n'Cuff when at home a (few) day(s) after the operation and only wear it when going out. I guess I can put that on, and then do some light spinning on the bike? Getting on / off the bike is going to be the main issue. Fortunately I don't have all the other body pain now, so probably doable...

It’s a great thing to reboot to factory settings. You may have to do a few upgrades to Collarbone 1.3.53 after the reset. Includes some patches for shoulder security.

Well, unlike your "new" heart, my collarbone is the same old one - just with some screws and bolts to hold it together and in the right place!

Do you know the age of your donor?

Just roughly 20’s or 30’s. When I first started getting it up to 140 bpm I asked my cardiologist what the max was and he said go for it. You got a Ferrari. Still very surreal it truly is much more mundane than your collarbone.

All the best with the op @Brusgaard . Hopefully you're a Vingegaard - on his timescale you'll be flying again by the time the bkool season starts.

Thanks, but not very likely!
CT-scan is now scheduled for August 8th, so probably surgery a week after that or something (just guessing). Then again 4-6 weeks of healing and an x-ray/CT-scan check to see if everything is OK. By that time we will be in October, and the BKOOL season should already be underway!

@Brusgaard
When is your surgery? Do you have to bring your own duct tape or does the hospital provide it?
