Well, sat reading the site & panicking if my usual 3 week trip due in around 6 weeks (5 weeks for my wife & younger son) will go ahead after surgery last Thursday to try & repair a shattered collar bone, surgeon says to wait & see over the next few weeks though bearing the pain is one thing, missing pp with the wife & kids for a year is just down right depressing.
 
So do I.
Just back from PP after 2 canx trips due to illness etc so understand how depressing it is. Hopefully you could still squeeze a trip in before children go back to school. Good Luck.
 
Hope you get away, my mother was taken seriously I'll yesterday and is in a coma so it looks like no PP this year for me, other things to worry about! But my son and girlfriend will go as all is paid for.

Oh Pips i am sorry to hear about this and hope your mother makes a speedy recovery :(.
 
Pips, really sorry to hear that & hope everything is ok.

Sparky, thanks very much, hope the positive thoughts work.
 
Thank you for your kind thoughts everyone is so supportive here.
 
6 weeks for a broken collor bone is massive, i'd be very, very surprised if you were not able to travel in 6 weeks, no drugs needed the body will repair it itself, takes around 10/12 weeks to knit properly, but you'll notice a big difference in 6 weeks. Chin up!

Things better out of coma no speech but on the up thanks everyone.
 
Great news pips, hope you have more to come.

Thank's smiddy, though surgeon didn't seem so optimistic, had a plate fitted & also a hook to keep my shoulder up as it is broken in one place & also shattered were it joins my shoulder. But have to go in a couple of weeks for him to asses so should know more then.
 
Thanks mwc you shoulder sounds very painful hope all goes well.
 
The missus had the same problem a couple of years ago! However it did not require surgery, my next door neighour fell in PP and got the same treatment as yourself, she was OK with a sling, but had to attend the hospital for treatment/physio.
 
Smiddy, as a matter of interest, how did she find it after the second operation to remove the plate & hook.
 
Sorry, MWC i really don't know, it happened a couple of years ago just before we came across, she actually fell in PP. She certainly wasn't incapacitated, got around fine, but with a sling. Her husband was quite happily showing pictures of the x-ray damage to anybody who wanted a look, i wasn't one of them. Don't worry too much docs are very good at finding a way for people to travel, they know holidays are very important to them.
 
Yeah thanks smiddy, might help that my surgeon was Spanish, now I am grasping at straws.
