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.

That sounds extremely painful! Like maybe even the second or third
most painful trauma you've had in the past few years. I imagine I'd
need to become a bare knuckle fighter before I could fully appreciate
that level of pain. I hope that it will feel much better after they've
moved the joint back into place.

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.

Oh serious OUCH! I'm so sorry to hear this. If it makes you feel any
better, I would have done the same thing. More than once, I've had my
friends and family up in arms when they found out that I didn't go to
the doctor when they thought I should. Several of those times, I
ended up in the hospital (one of those times, the doctor had to
'trick' me into it!) It's always been my belief that if I'm
upright and lucid, I'm all right.
Yeah.

I hope it's easily fixed. Take care of yourself! Boyfriend needs
you. We need you.

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.

they assure me that once my shoulder is back in place it will be easier with
pain, but it depends if they can do it after two and and a half weeks of me
pretending i can do it myself.
it was boyfriend that caused it, i fell over him winding around my feet for
his continual appetite problem.
this is the second time time i have fallen over him last time i broke my
ribs.
my doctor says if you fall over your cat twice and break bones it's time to
get rid of it.
i think not.

Wondering! Did you have to have surgery on your shoulder (ouch!)?
How is Boyfriend holding up? He doesn't have an appetite "problem" IMHO
he does what cats (and other) animals do: spend their time hunting food
and sleeping. The getting underfoot thing can be a real problem that
is why I go around saying "move, move, move". Unincorporated SLC has
now started a cat licensing law. I wonder how this will work out? If
you are "elderly" you can get a "lifetime" rate of one time for $5.00.
Being in that category and TuTu turned 14, I wonder how long that will
be? LOL. Best wishes for your shoulder and your starving kitty cat. MLB

Archer has a bad habit of trying to "strop" my legs as I'm going down the
stairs. When I was physically able it wasn't a problem I could push him out
of the way with one foot... now, however, I fear that he's going to make me
trip and break something else.
