I'm home from the ER

[Guest guest]

Well 5 hours later I am finally home. Did

not get brought back to the treatment area until a little after midnight.

Once I was back there it went quick. Got the X-rays and pain

med, sling, and then released.

Now to explain what happened. Most of you know I developed

severe Osteonecrosis in my right knee (thanks to prednisone) I have to use a

cane to get around but in the house I never use it. Well anyways, I was having

pain in that shoulder since yesterday and I just figured it was sore because of

mowing the lawn over the weekend with the rider. Well today I was walking from

the bathroom into the family room when my right knee gave out on me and well

down I went, and I landed on my left shoulder. I just decided to take some Tylenol

and go on about my daily stuff. The pain continued to get worse and it got to

the point were I could not even move any fingers without a sharp throbbing

pain. I told Mike and he wanted

me to call PCP and see if I could go into Afterhours. Well PCP felt I most

likely had dislocated my shoulder and wanted me in the ER (he knows I hate the

ER) So I went like a good lil’ girl.

According to the X-rays I have a fractured Clavicle and most

likely sprained my shoulder. So the Dr. said I needed to get into my Ortho to

follow up – She gave me a sling, told me to ice as much as possible, gave

me 10 Dilaudid pills to hold me over till I can get script filled, and sent me

home. (Forgot to mention that before they took me to X-rays they gave me a shot

of Dilaudid in the good ol’ ass area J)

I see my Ortho on Wednesday anyways to follow up on my

Osteonecrosis so I will just call in the morning and let them know what

happened, pick up my films to take with me, and follow up for this as well.

Gotta love me – All I can say is it is hard to type

with one hand and I am so happy for spell check. Well it’s time for moi

to head to bed – oops forgot gotta give Miss a buzz at

work before I go nighty night.

Thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts, and prayers

– I greatly appreciate them.

Okay talk with you all later. Sweet dreams, and may you all be having a pain free night.

Hugs,

Deanna

Deanna, you better take care of that shoulder, or you're going to be completely "crooked". I can already imagine you: limping on your right leg, your left shoulder slouching down.

'Thinking of you and wishing a speedy recovery.

Hi Deanna,

Sorry to hear you broke your collar bone. My son did that playing football! He had to wear a harness that kept his posture straight so the bone could mend properly. I hope you are not in to much pain because of it.
