Shoulder feels remarkably good, lots of movement but just cant put a lot of load on it so far. Have a follow up x-ray this week, but if it's anything like the last ones I may not bother.....they made me stand upright and hold 30 lbs weights in either hand to drop my shoulders so they could see the extent of the fracture!!! I could'nt complian however as the young x-ray technician was a very cute lass indeed

Accident may have been a blessing in diguise as they found inetresting stuff going on in my brain unrealated to the fall. All in all i had 6 x-rays, 2 CT scans and 2 MRI's performed. Neurologist said its impossible to determine what exactly is going on, so if I suffer any motor problems, increased sensitivity or lack of cognative function I must immediately return for MRI to compare it to the baseline they now have. So looks like I will be there evry Friday night If not I must return in 3 months and have it done anyway. Could be as innocent as atifacts from childhood. He also said flying to Santiago should be no problem, so I think I will go and do some photography instead of boarding, will be good to take the break.

So lessons learnt:

1. Don't do any other sport than snowboarding
2. Buy a helmet
3. Hospitals are the worst pace on earth if you have a chronic headache
