injury report ot
"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... 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. tweed Purrs on the way for a successful relocation. I hope they at least gave you something for the pain in the meantime? Jill |

When my 18 year old dog Sampson had to be put down I took a week off from work. I'd already been scheduled for vacation, I just moved it up a week. I was in mourning. I got cards and flowers from lots of people. But one woman I thought was my friend said, "What's all the fuss about? It was just a dog." Some people just don't get it. A medical professional should never say something like that to a patient. It's unusually cruel. It wasn't Boyfie's fault. It wasn't Christine's fault. It was an accident. Jill |

I'm glad you put yourself into the hands of the professionals, and I hope they can get you fixed up properly ASAP. In the meantime I hope you've at least got lots of good pain meds and somebody to keep an eye on you. |

Cats may be "animals" but they have feelings jut like we do and I especially feel for those who were dumped...either to fend for themselves alone when their owners move, or end up in the night after-hours dump cage at the shelters. *** So do I! Nanki-Poo (RV), my heart cat, was one of those whose owners moved away and left him. Joy |
