thanks...although sling is off, and I have a lot more use of my left-shoulder /arm than I did a month back, still seems slow recovery and a fair bit of discomfort when using it still, so I'm not sure if I'm going to get a 100% recovery or not..seems to me that although the broken left clavicle was the only injury picked up by xrays in that area, that there is something a little bit amiss outboard of the collar-bone, deep inside the delt area itself..it feels to me as separate from the adjacent broken bone area inboard of it...some kind of soft tissue or shoulder-socket issue..it is not severe, but is nagging and persistant..
police did arrive on the scene very quickly, and the (elderly) driver was referred for a 'license review"..I think the general consensus was that her eyesight had gone, (red light not seen, plus me in orange/yellow vizvest I always ride in) but I know that the damage to the car was rushed off to be repaired next day as a priority, so unless someone else uses the car , seems likely she will not give up driving it without a struggle.
GIO did compensate me for my material loss, but half of the still modest amount I asked for, and after more than a month of to and fro by email...
I claimed , besides a bike, and a cellphone, a $25 set of crocks sandles, and $30 worth of groceries scattered on road..they demanded pics and purchase dockets for both items.
I sent back a reply on that that I assume gave someone in Manila or Mumbai a hot ear.
