Default injury report, god dam i'm f'd up

I wont go into to much detail, since it will undoubtedly bore you. But the outcome of my last black belt weekend is a level 3 seperation in my right AC joint. Incase your wondering, I got thrown, and landed on my shoulder, heard a pop, and it was all down hill from there.

Spent the last week out of work, going to doctors, icing, and eating pain killers just to be able to get out of bed. Its perfect timing too, since our adult karate camp is coming up this weekend, and I have a feeling i was going to be testing for my San-Dan.

I go back to get follow up Xrays taken next week, and to further asses how its healing. I am hoping to avoid surgery since they are telling me it would be a six month recovery period, but with how it looks (my clavical is stickin up out of my shldr) I dont see how its going to heal correctly without it. I'd rather not be deformed for life.
