Have been let out of my cage (sling)!! Am allowed full range of motion and light weight tasks of everyday life.
We can see the bone gap filling in nicely. 4-6months typical for 100% and I'm on track for 4-5 months based on how things are looking.
I mentioned that now that the overall shoulder numbness is subsiding I have trouble with the inability to sleep through the night due to bad pain in my upper bicep/deltoid area. He looked at me puzzled that I still have pain outside of discomfort at the actual Ti plate under the skin but it's not pain at the collar bone area, it's my shoulder/arm. Basic strength testing showed my rotator cuff is fine but apparently I did a number on my upper bicep/pec! He said we can do MRI now or at next follow up (6 weeks from now). I opted to consider an MRI 6 weeks from now at my next checkup. Not sure if muscle or tendon damage but I'm guessing (doc didn't guess) it's muscle because I can still see a bruise at that spot 7 weeks after I crashed. Not moving my arm at all since then has done me no favors for getting good blood flow to that area for healing. I'm optimistic that it'll improve now that I'm allowed to work it for the good blood flow necessary for healing muscle.

This is GREAT news! Congrats!
Hope the remaining soreness and bruising starts to go away soon now that you can start using the muscles again. And happy to hear you didn't hurt a rotator cuff. I destroyed my left one playing HS football and it hasn't been "right" since and is getting worse the older I get.Aaron Brucker

Welp, if all goes right, we close on both properties on Friday. This past week and weekend were absolute hell dealing with the sellers. They didn't like having to be responsible for the new septic system and tried to push it off on us stating lack of time to get it completed. So after calling their bluff and refusing to deal with it since they were legally liable and we weren't, they decided to get the work scheduled for the last minute, over the weekend before we take possession. But didn't account for having to get the permits signed off in time. This would cause them to lose all the money my lender was going to escrow for the work being completed since it would be after the closing date. They tried to get us to change the wording of the contract once again so they wouldn't lose out on the money, stating that this was the earliest they could get the work scheduled. So my realtor and I called the contractor who would be doing the work and asked if they could do it any time sooner, to which they replied, sure! When would you like us to do it? So we called the sellers back and told them to go pound sand and that they could keep the property and that we were walking away unless the problem was now going to be fixed before closing. This put the sellers in a tough spot as they need to close on this property in order to afford their new one that they are under contract to purchase. And there was no time to go under contract and close with anyone else. So they are now scrambling to get the work completed before we close on Friday. I talked to the contractor again to confirm that this would actually happen, and they stated the work would be started tomorrow and would be done, permits and all, by the time we close on Friday. Worst case, they finish up over the weekend and we close early next week, but keep the possession date the same.
I can not believe the hoops we have had to jump through just to buy a damned piece of property. Also can not believe that the sellers are that self absorbed and entitled that they thought they could just do whatever they wanted, contract or not. The only time they have been "reasonable" is when they were forced to be. Will be interesting to say the least at the closing. I am pretty sure my realtor is praying I keep my mouth shut, as he knows how much I would like to have a face to face conversation with them.
Just going to be happy to have all this behind me soon. Then the fun of moving starts. Someone please remind me why we are doing this again?

These people clearly must not understand quite a bit of the process, and their realtor must be 3/4 retarded... Any work that has been done within a certain time frame either needs to be paid out at closing, or show documentation that it has been paid and accepted by the contractor. I regularly get paid checks out at closing for side jobs that end up being sticking points. Some of those are ones that i just provided quotes for previously and suddenly it is a project that is already paid. Clearly since they aren't approaching the stuff this way they just don't get it. but yay for Friday for you guys, so party in like 90 days right? Since Jacob is slacking on the party front
hookers and blow!

They know exactly what they are doing. They believe that it is a sellers' market and that they should get everything they want without compromise. The thing that they really didn't like was having 1.5X the estimate being stuck in an escrow for a while. One would assume that a couple grand wouldn't be a big deal for someone who is making about $350K off their current property. But that is why assumptions suck.
And no party is planned. We are moving to the acreage to get away from folks

I am not the service manager although i have to play service manager about half the time because our actual service manager is no kind of service manager. I also don't want to be the service manager because i already dont have time to do my actual job at this time of the year.
