i've finally gone for medical advice. i have not only fractured my
shoulder
but i have dislocated it too.
the x-ray is spectacular. my shoulder bone is under my arm instead of
being
in the right place and the fracture is a piece of loose bone chipped
off and
floating around.
because of leaving it so long they were not confident they could do it
so i
have to wait until next week, mon or tues until a shoulder specialist
is
available to knock me out
and try to put it back externally. if he can't it will have to done
surgically but i will have to get the loose bone wired in anyway.
they wanted to keep me in hospital immediately but i saw no point in
that -
waiting until next week until a shoulder surgeon can see me so i chose
to go
home.
please purr and pray that the surgeon can relocate my dislocated
shoulder
without surgical intervention.
i've had an earbashing from every doctor/nurse i've seen today for not

coming in before so i do not need that. I truly thought I had a bad
sprain
that would resolve, but even myself who hates seeing doctors knew it
was
time to seek help now.
i've been told i should have dialled 999 for an ambulance at the time,
but i
did not think my injury was that important to do that.
I wish i had, now.

I'm glad you finally did the right thing, though I can understand why
you didn't before. Lots of purrs for a successful treatment and hoping
you'll soon be pain free.
