So now I'm a criple.
This weekend, I decided moving my mini fridge from its place on the floor to the top of one of my dressers would be a good idea. I was wrong.
I dislocated my right shoulder.
Only, at the time, even though it hurt a lot, I thought I would just take some advil and a sleeping pill, and that when I woke up everything would be okay. I was so wrong. It was awful. I woke up at like 5 in so much pain I thought I might either just pass out or throw up just from turning over on my side. It was bad enough that I called my mom and asked her to take me to the ER, which she did. The doctor took one look at my oddly held arm and called for a bunch of X-rays, which showed my right arm to be very dislocated (it was hanging down in a forwards angle almost an inch or so away from the joint) and inflamed as well. He pushed and pulled it back into place (Holy Cow!!!!! Worst pain of my entire life!!!!!!), gave me a heavy dose + prescription of pain meds & anti-inflammatories, stuck it in a sling, and ordered me not to use it.
I am really good at the one handed peck method now.
Anyway that is all I can write for a while b/c I think I am getting carpal-tunnel (sp?) in my left arm. Ha. ttyl. ♥
