Wow Rich! :eek  Sorry to hear that. :(  I guess it could have been worse though so I guess there is a bright side. :)

BTW, considering your HotBoat post count:  Will this mean that you will even post MORE now? :stupid  :rotflmao

I saw that over on Hotboat.... that sucks.  

Pins in bones always seem to haunt people... i.e. pain when weather or temp changes, ect... If the doc isn't 100% on putting you under the knife, I'd just let it heal on it's own.   :good

I've got a pin in my left shoulder from a similar injury..although I believe less severe(broken clavicle and AC separation).  If I had it to do over again I'd have opted to wear a sling for awhile and call it good as opposed to getting cut up.  Sorry man, but either way it's going to suck :beat
Hopefully you injured the non-dominant arm :stupid  Hope you have a speedy recovery and the pain is manageable :)

I have recieved both bad and good news  :bebe

I have a severe break, the bone broke at an angle, more of a splinter break in a few locations :eek:

90% of the time they just let them heal, I am am at the other 10%.  They took new x-rays and wanted to see if it looked better than last Sunday.  No significant changes :mad: However, because of the swelling and not an emergency needed in the repair.  The Dr. wanted to wait two more weeks, take new x-rays and see if the bones come together.  If not he may need to do surgery where the install a plate along the toop of the shoulder and screw into the broken bones.  

So we will cross our fingers, not bones :cool:
