Ouch!!!

A big OUCH this weekend as Brian broke his clavicle (collarbone to those of us non doctor types).
In the last hour of packing up to come home from the cottage he tripped on a old tree stump in the back and landed on his shoulder. Nobody was there to see it but he had enough strength to get to the cottage and stand at the door for me to see him. The little guy was in pain and you could see it.
A trip to the Collingwood hospital and the x-ray confirmed my fears. Much to my surprise they say this is a common bone to break and that you don't do anything special to heal it. Common they say!! I guess for doctors but not for me. I've heard of ankles, arms wrists and legs but not collarbones. A quick Googeling and it's there for you to see.
I think I would have passed out or at least yelled real loud from where I was rather than running back to the cottage. Ask me some day to tell you about my falling off the bike with no shoes episode. You can see from other posts that I am not that good with pain but I'd take this pain for him if I could. The emotional pain seems to hurt just as much.
So far the doctors says a few more days of pain and then 4 weeks or so to heal. I find it hard to believe but only time will tell.
Silvana made him a Spiderman sling that is helping him out.
Hopefully he has some mobility next week for the start of school.
So far the most descriptive line from Brian. "Daddy, when I walk it feels wobbly" referring to how the bone feels inside his chest.
