Left Shoulder Xray I’m ending my second month off the bike since crashing and busting up my shoulder. The crash on my mountain bike wasn’t spectacular, but it did its job. Here is an Xray of some of the damage plus my previous collar bone (clavicle) fracture. Notice the top right edge of my humerus (head of arm) and the sliver. That’s the chunk of bone (greater tuborosity) that was wacked off. Probably from smacking into the acromion bone. ...

She then adds that I may post the story if I wish. ...

I was able to just avoid him but had to run over his bike. Ejected at 28mph. ...
