I Have Something to Say

So, quite embarrassing really, earlier this morning i went for a hot bath as i haven't been well as most of you will know and i thought that it might help me to feel better.

I pushed up on each side of the bath to get out and my right hand slipped wrenching my shoulder out of its socket that elicited a blood curdling scream from me.

Well, i got taken to the hospital, went through a tank and a half of Entonox (gas and air) and got left with it for an hour at the hospital till they decided to give me morphine canular instead.

The doctor said that due to the way it was sitting they were gonna have to sedate me in order to realign and replace my shoulder back into the socket correctly so i couldn't tense up.

Now I'm home, still doped up on morphine and sedatives and very tired. I am stuck in a sling for two weeks and on bed rest and easy living today and bed rest totally till my illness goes away.

@nomercyfortheweak great. Follow the physical therapist directions and you will get your arm motion back. It will take time

@turbineman40 I'm not getting a physio therapist. I've been given exercises by the doc at the hospital to start after the first week

@nomercyfortheweak Based on my experience, follow the instructions exactly with rest as shown on the instructions. Give your body time to heal before stressing it again.
It will work in time. It did for me
