Recovery time update
The bruising is almost gone now and a recent Xray shows a finger of bone growing past the split in the collarbone to bridge the two pieces and hold everything together. The main pain I still have is in my neck (all the time) and in my shoulder when I stand or walk for any amount of time. Today I went to the range for the first time in over a month. Only .22s and some German army training ammo and only for about 1.5 hrs. I wore a shooting jacket with recoil pad and only fired about 50 rounds of .22s and 20 rounds of the no recoil training stuff. I quit when the injured area started to hurt from the rifle butt being pressed against it. This week I start PT which is scheduled for 6 weeks but I'm guessing I will cut that short once I learn what they are having me do. I can do the same thing at home for free. So far by 5:30 p.m. I have only taken 2 Tylenols which is half of what I had been consuming just a couple days earlier. Progress!
Glad to hear you are getting better. Just make sure to stick with the PT, don't be like me and just stop going and stop doing it. I sure regret it all these years later.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Hope you are 100% better soon.
