Thought I broke my neck today. 6 hours on a spinal board in a neck brace a couple of X-rays and CT scans later, Turns out, I broke the ball completely off my shoulder.

Geez, how did that happen? You must be feeling sore but at least somewhat relieved!

Shit, glad it wasn't your neck.

But that's what happens to bad boys who smoke a billy.

Body surfing. I was in 8ft of water but the wave I was on was big enough to suck most of it out.
Next thing I know, I’m head first into the bottom.

It must have rag-dolled you, no wonder you thought neck.

Yea, was pretty fucked.
Could be worse. neck is still pretty sore, I reckon the broken shoulder probably saved my spine.

I hope you have a speedy recovery Billy. I don't know if you will get the same treatment as my stepmother got, but they replaced the ball with a steel one after she tumbled down her back steps. You probably won't be able to fully participate in a Mexican wave for a while. It took her about 6 months to be able to raise her arm above shoulder level, but she was 65 at the time. But it's good that it was your shoulder and not the neck as first suspected. Once again, best wishes for a quick and trouble free recovery mate.

That’s the way I’m looking at it, bro.
4-5 weeks of pain for a lifetime of mobility? I’ll take that deal, anyday.

Glad it wasn't as bad as what you initially thought! How long is recovery? All the best!
