Clash of the Clavicles

By in broken clavicle, rehabilitation with 2 comments

With a new year comes new beginnings. I’ve always believed in focusing on the positive and to celebrate the triumphs the come along the way.

I, for one try to make the most of an adverse situation and maybe even laugh about it a bit. On January 3, 2009 (3 weeks, 5 days post op), I had a Clavicle party to celebrate the reunion of my collarbone.

Stell’s Clavicle Clash was a reunion for the union!

Friends and family came to celebrate with me as I started the new year off with a perfect clavicle.

There was lots of food, music, sangrias & free autographed xrays for all! What a blast!

I created a branded event where I designed posters, invites, thank you cards, ‘chocolate clavicles’, a themed menu etc. I even went through the trouble of getting all my xrays on cd etc so I’d have good high res artwork to use. Fun stuff indeed!

I printed up a 24x11" xray for all my guests to sign. That's going in my room!
