Clay's week didn't end as good as it started.

Even though Clay had a great weekend, things went south just before halftime of his game Tuesday. He was playing both offense and defense. While on defense a player with the ball tried to run outside and Clay tackled him. Clay also landed directly on his left shoulder and his collarbone broke. Here is a nice picture taken in the emergengy room Tuesday night. Wednesday he went to the Orthopedic doctor and Friday had surgery.

Here is the X-ray of his collarbone showing the break. To fix the bone the doctor made an incision, put the bone in a clamp, spread the bone back apart until they fit back in place then put a plate with six screws in it to hold it.

Here is the finished product with the bone straightened back out in place. It was 15 staples to close the incision. He says it it numb in the area around the incision. Two days after the surgery he is feeling much better with very little pain. Hopefully I can get an X-ray picture of the plate and screws on his collarbone.

Here it is.
