injury report ot

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.

Purrs on the way for a successful relocation. I hope they at least gave you
something for the pain in the meantime?

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.

I can never understand people who say, get rid of an animal, like it's
an object with no value. If someone was advised to get rid of one of
their children there would be an outcry and I've known children in the
past that should have been got rid of. ;-)

These people have no feelings. 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.

Christina! How on EARTH did you stand that level of pain for that
long? 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.

Wow, Tweed. I can't believe you were able to wait that long. You're a
trooper for sure!! Sending you purrs and prayers that they can put your
shoulder back w/o major surgery!!

Take GOOD care,

OUCH!!!!!

As someone with a bad shoulder you so totally have my sympathy!

And as for the doctor he sounds a nasty bit of work. When I busted my
ankle tripping over Dunzi Dave's mum assumed I'd have immediately
hobbled to the vet and had her put to sleep! She said she "wouldn't
keep such a dangerous animal"

(I suspect Dunzi was quite proud of being described as a "dangerous
animal")

No wonder you have been in pain.
Cyberhugs to you (they don't hurt).

Purring and praying that you won't need surgery to repair the
shoulder. Hang in there.

So have I. 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.
