That's good news, Frank. However, I must urge you to exercise double,
no, triple caution when you're riding... At least until you got the
results of the second x-ray test in January that hopefully would
indicate full recovery.

Eight weeks ago this evening I was sitting in a hospital waiting room
wondering what was wrong with my shoulder, hoping it wasn't too badly
mangled but fearing the worst.
As it turned out a cracked clavicle was far from "the worst".
Went for more x-rays today and got the okay to ride.
My ROM is pretty much the same as the right shoulder. Pain is all but
gone and what pain I feel is almost certainly soft tissue and not the
break.
Mild concern that the x-rays are not showing much bone between the
clavicle and the "chip" that broke off, but the doc said that
sometimes x-rays just don't show that new bone well. And since the
two ligaments in the area appear to be strong and supporting things
well, and since my pain is all but gone, riding should be okay.
Light rides this weekend and if no pain, cleared for work on Monday.
Return for one last set of x-rays in January as a precaution.
That is a lot of talk for: we're back on the bike again! Woo-hoo!
cheers, frank
