Broken collarbone / Clavicle fracture
in Health ·
I’ve been through an eight-hour procedure myself, so I know the drill. Honestly, being stuck in a hospital bed is best handled if you ditch the pillow entirely—just lie flat and keep your hands behind your head. Not tucked under you, mind you, but actually behind your head. It feels weird at first, but it helps. And look, it’s perfectly normal for the tension to give way; it shouldn't be clamped down too tight. I dealt with my own recovery for about two weeks, and once that period passed, everything was smooth sailing.
