Feel like I'm getting better each day. To the point that my family keeps reminding me that I have follow up doctor visits and physical therapy before anything is decided about when I can return to work. Still can't close the right hand all the way, talk without a lisp, close only the right eye (have to close both to get that one to close), or keep a drink in my mouth unless I pinch the right side of my mouth closed with my fingers. On the other hand I can now walk comfortably without shuffling and take real steps instead of half steps.
The "new pains" part is now that the big pains are going away I'm actually noticing how many other things ache to some degree or another. My knuckles, especially on the left hand, have some serious pieces of skin to grow back as do my right knee and shoulder. Normal healing will take care of it I'm sure but I'm ready for it to be finished already.
And with all this I find myself wondering why isn't my collar bone broken? I'm presuming I went over the front of the bars or at least off the bike to the front. I've got abrasions in places that suggest that's what happened so how did I luck out and not break the collar bone? Not that I'm asking for it to be broken mind you. I'm just wondering since I had the bad luck to unload off the bike in the first place how'd I have the good luck not to break the collar bone like it seems every biker who crashes over the bars does?
