11th January. Bloody Annoyed.

According to Young Doctor at A&E what I'm suffering from is an Acromioclavicular Joint Separation. 

Basically the force of shouldering a Ford Granada driver's door at about 25 mph has resulted in the damage of, according to the x-ray and Young Doctor, about 50 to 70% of the ligaments that attach the shoulder blade to the collar bone.

"Is this one of those things that will end up as something that will never be quite right?"

"Well you'll probably always have a bump on the shoulder but it shouldn't be weaker."

"It'll take at least a month to recover."

"A month!!"

"Jeezuz H.!"

"Yes  you have to rest the arm in a sling then come back to the fracture clinic in a week."

It's gonna be GREAT!!
