Four busted shoulders in the past 15 months? On Veterans day I went down in another blaze of glory; sliding further than I have ever slide before, a feat I've only scene in some tour time trial videos...
Yet again, I forgot how to do some sweet Judo roll, and my left shoulder thought it would try to truck the pavement. So a bus trip later, and a jenky x-ray machine, and a "doctors" on duty urgent care clinic; the conclusion was a third degree separation.
Luckily, I didn't do any damage to that plate that holds me together. I checked the previous x-rays to convince myself that the displacement was due to the surgery or a shorter clavicle... The displacement occurred before this crash, so with my doctoral skillz I diagnosed severe bruising.
Moral of the story is learn to Judo roll in split seconds, watch out for wet redwood forest descents, and get a cross bike.
