Thanks, Dave. I have to say that I am really impressed with the care I have received both this time and previous occasions at this hospital (St. Joseph's in Toronto). I can't blame a harried ER doctor for missing a difficult call and I am grateful that they obviously take great care in reviewing and following up on files. I was told by the doctor yesterday morning that it's a break that she's never seen before and a difficult "catch" for anyone to see in the x-rays.
To answer a few earlier posters, there is no physio yet. Keeping it as still as possible is what's needed now. As the bone knits I will be "assigned" physio to make sure that shoulders don't freeze and some strength is built up. Like the other day, will not clog the list with individual replies but a big thanks to all (whether you replied or not) for thoughts and support. This could have been so much worse. I am grateful I am walking and have an intact cranium and (most important) that my beautiful Marinoni is still with us. ;-) cheers, frank aka the one-armed bandit Ps: Carrying K10D with me at work. Ann, I already have a subway shot from yesterday! Hope to get a few good streeties (as Derby calls them).

All you need to do now is rest and listen to your physiotherapist. I wanna see the X-ray too, even if you have to draw one :) My only injury today was a bruised wallet.
