Primey, it took about 10 weeks for me in total to recover, immobilization included. But I had a dislocated shoulder, which means the humerus was out of the shoulder joint cavity. I had it repositioned and waited for the structures to heal, then recovered full mobility. What I see from the image you posted, you have a separated shoulder which is sorta different. The ligaments between the collarbone and shoulderblade are fucked, but the mobile joint of the shoulder is not affected, which is very good. Still, the surgery sounds like a massive pain in the ass. Then you'll have at least another one to remove the implant thingy. Hope you get past it well.

Then the man said "Do you want the chocolate bar?"

The child frightened answers, "No".

At least he was taught well XD

...most pedophiles don't look like pedophiles.Some people are really good at hiding their nature through their kind acts.

The fact that after the child said no, and the guy said "yes you do" and imposed his will like that... I wouldn't see it as nice its just creepy. A child saying no is still just as valid as an adult saying no.

There was really no need to pay the whole thing like that either if the child had the correct amount available to pay. Thats like paying your way into someone's good graces so now the child is left with a candybar, groceries and the money. He should feel "greatful" to the man. It can be easy for him to say to the child "can you help me put the groceries in my car?" and the child would probably do so feeling indebted to the man.

No one is that nice.

Yeah Alena, there are people that "nice". It's kinda sad that good gestures are automatically put under such shitty assumptions. I've bought and given things for kids too. I've given gloves and scarves to children who looked poor/badly dressed and cold. Sure, a kid should know and be wary of strangers. Still, chiil that paranoia Alena, not everyone is a sex predator.

You are correct. And thank you for the information on your experience with it. Appreciate it. Not looking forward to this, was hoping that the doc would say.....it'll be fine ...just take a while....but...it's worse than I thought and feels like hell. :( ..seems "better'...but...pfft..not really...it wiggles around and hurts in strange ways. 

Stupidest thing is the road rash...the ankle and foot are hellish..can't run..and hobble about...LOL...just such crap for a summer...lol sigh ..shit happens. 

BUT...the good thing is...friend of friend...lost his arm completely in an even dumber accident...so. I shut my trap and don't complain too much. I got all my parts.

I'm not saying everyone is, but the thing the caught me was that the child said "no." and the guy said "Yes you do," and bought all the groceries instead of just buying the candy bar.

And that's cool and kind of you, I hope you continue to do that. However this kid had enough money to buy the groceries he wasn't in danger of malnutrition or elements because he couldn't buy a candy bar.

Yeah, maybe its shifty for me to have that assumption but its the sort of world we live in.

Without the inner dialogue or context, that story can mean so many things.

That could also help for future influence as well as witness PR. If it's a small town that all adds up.

Some are, but enough aren't. We're in an age where Halloween Candy has people have to worry about poison.

What'd the guy look like? 

I'm meaning more like how were his body language and facial tells?

The sensible thing to do would be to talk to the parents first instead of creepily approaching someone's child as a complete stranger.

I agree. I will just add the boy went to the store alone without his parents. I think the man seemed nice based on my observations. It is hard to say how great I am at reading people. I do get gut feelings about people or intuition. I am just not sure how much gut feeling is worth. I was the cashier so it's not like I saw them when they got out.

One time I went to the store and bought a box of macaroons. I ate some them I did not want anymore because the box had too many. I shared them with people at the bus stop. I had some willing to take a macaroon. I saw some were afraid to take any. I did not blame them for their caution.

I think to my advantage I am small and even mistaken as a child at times. It helps people see me as less of a threat especially around children. It is probably the only reason I can still go to the park and hang out on the swings without getting weird looks. I just like to go on the swings listen to some music and think about my life at times.
