don't worry it doesn't last too long. i only had the pillow for like 3 nights, likewise with the painkillers. sucks that they have to operate, it must be a really gnarly break!
try not to think about biking too much otherwise it will get you down a bit.

that was fun, i went into opital yesterday morning for the operation, and then this morning, an hour before i was due to have it the doctor decided he would x ray it again and give it a rethink, and he deicded it wouldnt really help to have an op. needless to say im happy about that, because had i had one i would have been off the bike for three months!
luckily it should heal quicker without one, but if it does give me pain i will have to go in and have sugery, but at the moment its looking good- even though without surgery im going to have a big lumo where theres two chunks of loose bone now. however, i dont need the sling anymore and its not giving me any pain to speak of- its almost at the stage where i can sleep on the broken side.

Make sure you don't get too confident with it though! About 3 weeks in mine felt fine, no sling in day etc etc. woke up one morning and thought i'd stretch..... crack! back to square 1. Take it easy!
