Replying to Broken collarbone

So after poring lots of money into the ski season. On my eighth time out this year I broke my collar bone in two places. The doctor says surgery cant be done on it. He also said I will be out for atleast 12 weeks which is basically my whole ski season..i cant even explain how mad i am right now. Have any of you ever had a break in your collarbone? If so do you have any advice? also would it be a good idea to just go out and ski before the docs gives me the clear?
