Well here’s a short post over how the weirdest shit happens.
In my bathroom we have a small shower with one of those massager showerheads that feels really good when the water is really hot. As I do every night I head in to take my shower, I’m washing my hair when suddenly I feel a huge pain in my shoulder and hear a huge cracking noise. The shower head somehow came off the wall and hit me with the force of the water behind it. A trip to the doctor’s post confirms it, my collar bone is broken. I’m not even sure the doctor believed my story as she kinda raised an eyebrow at me as I was explaining it. She poked around on it.. does this hurt? does this hurt? as I scream hmm yes guess it does.
So in short from one five minute shower I ended up with my arm in a sling for 4 weeks, 4 weeks off work at least and a hell of a lot of pain. Oh and the final topping to this cake, it’s my left collerbone, and I’m left handed so i can’t write either.
Well now it’s 2 weeks later and I had a checkup with my doctor yesterday, her first comment, yup still broken… I love this new doctor she’s funny. She said there’s a definate dimple in the bone which could mean that it’s either not set right or more probably the bone chipped. Either way there’s definitely a lot of bleeding in my shoulder and I still can’t use my arm, and shouldn’t. She gave me some muscle relaxers to make sure my neck doesn’t get over stressed due to the sling I have to wear all the time and agreed that I need at least 2 more weeks off work.
Well I haven’t broken anything since I was very young and with my doctor’s course I realize all the things that depend on such a small bone and I don’t want to damage the functionality of my arm of the muscles so I’m doing exactly as they say and doing nothing and taking all the time off that they recommend. The .. good… bad.. coincidental .. thing is that I’m off work till at least the 14th then I go back on leave for my surgery on the 25th for another minimum of 4 weeks. My work hates me right about now.
As Aba said, this would be hella funny had it happened to someone else… talk about freak accident, how many ppl can break their collar bone in the shower? Well I always said I am the exception, if theres 1,000,000,000 / 1 shot it can happen, I’ll get it, never fails.
Oh well, here’s my funny and bizzare tale for today.
