Lots of skin lost but never any impact to the head. Also never broken/sprained anything till pretty recently.
In October of 2023 I made a series of bad decisions that lead to a mild separation of my AC (acromioclavicular) joint, I saw a doctor and learned it was small enough that it didn’t need surgery, just physical therapy.
During that time some other health problems popped up that redirected my time elsewhere while I should’ve been letting my shoulder continue to heal.
On June 23rd I once again made a series of unwise decisions that lead me to a much more severe separation of my same right AC joint as well as a fractured wrist.
The wrist has healed up just fine with nothing but the occasional painless clicking, the shoulder appeared to be doing well until pretty recently when the recovery process seemed to take a few steps back.
After another conversation with my doctor we decided to go through with the surgery. The surgery took some time to setup, was delayed once and almost delayed twice but as of October 17 2024, I now have screws, a plate, a rod, and a dead guy’s hamstring inside my shoulder.
Edited to add: shoulder x-ray before/after surgery
