WWE Diva Candice Michelle admits she tried to return too soon, updates her health status

Candice Michelle admitted in a WWE website blog that she tried to come back too soon after breaking her clavicle. "I was cleared to do minimal things and they gave me an inch, and I took a mile," she wrote. "I thought I could do it even though the fracture wasn’t completely bridged. WWE gave me a match and I took full advantage of it, but it didn’t work out to my advantage. With being in the ring only about five seconds, I did a dropkick which I decided to change in mid-air (not a smart idea). Not only did I botch it, but I instantly knew I had re-broken my clavicle!"

Candice also updated her status. "It's been about 14 weeks since my surgery and many wonder when I will be back. Well, the first time around I would inform everyone what the doctors told me and I personally got my hopes up for those dates! It kept getting pushed back and my heart kept getting crushed. I will let you know that I had a cat scan two weeks ago and things are looking great and I’m feeling even better! All the bones are connected and healing and are in perfect alignment.

"Bones have a timeframe of there own, different for everyone in healing. I am in physical therapy and will be back very soon!" To read the full blog and her comments on a phone call she received from Steve Austin, visit WWE.com.

Powell's POV: It sounds like Candice is progressing nicely. One can only hope that WWE officials learned their lesson from allowing Candice to return too quickly and won't make the mistake again with her or Randy Orton, who is out with a similar injury.
