Dislocated shoulder
Feb.9, 2009
On this day, I slept normally around 10:30-11:00pm.
Who knew that I'd dislocate my arm while sleeping...
And here's my story:
I was sleeping soundly that night...
It was a Sunday evening, I was a bit depressed because there's school tom.
See that red arrow?? Yeah, that's the shoulder.
I was sleeping sideways, I always do anyway.
I woke up because I felt pain on my shoulders, after I tried to move it, it hurts again. I realized that my shoulder was dislocated. I knew because 2 years ago, I dislocated the same shoulder during tennis. This time, the bone was moved forward; before, it was backward.
I was screaming for help since I can't get up on my own. I tried to use my cellphone, but it was too far.
My dad thought that I was having a nightmare...yeah...I just kept screaming. I woke my little sister because of the screaming, she also thought that I was dreaming, she was scared because I was loud. She thought I was being chased by cowboys for some reason...O_o.
Anyway, my dad finally answered and I said I needed help.
So yeah, he came and realized that I was NOT dreaming. He called my mom and both of them helped me sit up. Damn...it was painful just trying to sit up...
After that I had to go to the hospital to fix my shoulder.
It was 2:00 a.m.
Well, it was not that bad, I had experience anyway.
I'm not sure whether it's pathetic or not that I can't fix my shoulder by myself...but these kinds of things freak me out... like bones getting out of place...
I got x-rayed, etc... then the doc came in.
He said he'll give me pain killers and will relax my muscles so I won't get tensed.
So they injected me with something...
After they injected me with the thing...I didn't realize that I had already fallen asleep...
When I woke up, my shoulder was fixed and there was a sling too.
It was kind of cool too. I was still drowsy, it's like I'm drunk?? My dad told me it's similar after drinking. Kinda drowsy and a bit tipsy. It was quite an experience falling asleep after an injection >_<
