I got injured at my last race at L-Cross.  I fractured my right clavicle.  I wanted to finish the race but the medic wouldn't let me.  I had to go to the hospital in Ocheechobee, Florida.  I live 2 and a half hours away.  My mom was with me.  They took x-rays and put me in a sling and told me to see an orthopaedic Monday.  The orthopaedic doctor said I needed surgery and it was scheduled for Thursday, June 21.  Good thing I had surgery, because a fragment of the clavicle bone was sitting nearand laying on top of my subclavian artery and lung.  The doctor put in a plate and 7 screws, which will stay in place.  I am off of racing for about 8-10 weeks, maybe more??  Sucks, but oh well it could be worse.  Brandon #418
