Well, I can do so. I broke my right humerus and my right scapula (which actually was shattered into 30 or so pieces) skydiving. Never have your parachute accidentally open at 270 km/h...
(Have a look at: [url=http://www.thur.de/~carsten/Fallschirm/zerfetztes_gurtzeug.html]Torn rig[/url] or here: [url=http://www.thur.de/~carsten/Fallschirm/rechter_oberarm.html]X-rays[/url]
So I can understand the aches and pains you have to bear. I hope your surgeon did a better job so your collar bone will heal pretty fast.
BTW: There are two words for almost any bone of the body. A Latin and a Germanic one (sternum = breast bone etc) Anyone can tell me the corresponding term for "humerus"? "Upper arm bone" doesn't look smart and is too long a term for being widely used.
