It turns out that, although my clavicle feels better, I'm not healing very quickly so I've elected to have surgery. Time 0 will be from the day I have my procedure. 6 weeks to heal and then a minimum of two weeks before I'll be strong enough to return to normal activities.
Realistically I'll be back late October at the earliest.
