Left Clavicle
New year, new blog, new goals AND 1 Fractured clavicle (collar bone)....!!!LOL
I try to keep it short. Cycled up the cheras hartamas uphill road then saw the sun rise and I felt so nice for being able to climb up here and the beautiful scenery. So decided to turn back downhill all the way back. Halfway descending, saw this drain cover part of the road, so i slowed down for it....LITTLE DID I KNOW, 1 NOT-SO-OBVIOUS HOLE was there, split second later, i entered matrix mode, i flew and next thing i know i'm on the ground. My first thought was, whether the car behind stopped, she did anyway. So took my time, slowly get up, gave a priceless gaya kneeling pose and then....ouch my left shoulder....
I felt the bruising on my left collarbone and i knew it was either fractured or dislocated, I hope dislocated, faster healing, cheaper medical bills. Walked some distance, lend a security guard's hp to call my parents to pick me up at petronas. On the way, to petronas a cyclist passed me by offering his bandage but i said its ok since my parents are coming. Cut the whole story short, x-rayed, a fracture on my left collar bone with a superficial angulation (superficial means upper, thus the angle of the fracture is upwards).
Below is a pic of my not-so-macho body on my left shoulder with the splint, cant see the bruise caused by the fracture coz covered by the splint. Girls that are sensitive, skip this pic hee hee..(i made it small so it wont cause geliness.......).jpg)
Below is my x-ray results....can see the fracture???ouch~ its supposed to be straight.
End Result :
Thank :
1) God the most, for I believe He's watching me and protected me from further harm, no doubt about that!
2) My helmet, i actually knocked my head to the tarmac road, because of it i did not feel any pain because the helmet absorbed the impact or my injury could have been worse.
3) The 3 Malay guys that offered help....once again, incidence like this make me wanna believe that racial harmony is possible. For those who are a bit biased to the other races, READ THIS!!!!!, the chinese drivers just looked and waiting for me to clear the road after my fall so they could be on their way instead of offering help.
4) my parents definitely
5) my frens who cared and worried about me, thanks brothers n sisters....
Damages/Loss:
1) my favorite Nike water bottle, it flew somewhere when i crashed.
2) my bicycle rear light
3) my adidas shade, and its my first time WEARING IT OUT!!!
4) 2 punctured tyres

Dont worry bro, as ur fellow rider in crime just hang in I had my fair share of falls and crashes. Falls n crashes are part of cycling. same risks u take when u are driving. Dont let the fall defer u.

Jeremiah 17:14-18 (New King James
Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.
15 Indeed they say to me,
“ Where is the word of the LORD?
Let it come now!”
16 As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You,
Nor have I desired the woeful day;
You know what came out of my lips;
It was right there before You.
17 Do not be a terror to me;
You are my hope in the day of doom.
18 Let them be ashamed who persecute me,
But do not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And destroy them with double destruction!
