I had an accident and broke my collarbone. It was a nasty break too. I had surgery to have a metal plate put in to fix the break. I had no idea how much hardware he was going to put in there!!!! I have a "Terminator" collarbone now! Why didn't he just go ahead and make it a bionic arm for crying out loud! 5" of metal and 5 screws - nobody better come near me with a magnet! The airport security should be fun too. I wonder if I can pick up radio and TV stations better :P

I'm recovering pretty well though. If I hadn't already been in pretty good shape when it happened it could have been a lot worse. I regained a lot of range of motion and muscle strength quickly. I even surprised my physical therapist. It will still take several months for the bone to heal, but at least I can wash and dry my hair and put shirts on that I pull over my head. I can't ride a horse for a while though, but I still feed them and groom them daily.

My youngest daughter took pretty good care of me through the worst of it. I'm very grateful and proud of her for stepping up to take care of her old mom when I needed her.

I am missing my workouts. Right now all I can do are my physical therapy exercises. No lifting, no push ups or pull ups, no putting any weight on my shoulder at all. I had no idea how much I used my arms until I couldn't use one of them. I will never again take for granted what my body does for me on a daily basis.  I will treat it well and be grateful for my health, my strength and my abilities.

I hope you are all in full swing for Spring and Summer! It will be here before we know it! Let me know if I can help you in any way.
