Our 6 week vacation lasted 4 days before “disaster” struck.
Barb tripped over her own feet on the evening of the 4th day. Dislocated shoulder and trip to the ER was the excitement of the evening.
Here’s the initial x-ray. Our niece replied “that don’t look right!”
We ended up coming home on the 6th day. She just couldn’t handle the RV life with the amount of residual pain. Besides that, follow-up appointments and physical therapy at our home facility will be more convenient and much less costly than paying out of pocket.
As a side note, we have a reputation of ER visits during vacations – kidney stones, broken arm, urinary tract infection, scratched cornea are just a few reasons for ER visits.
Maybe some decluttering will get accomplished this summer hahahaha
Decluttering the Stuff 
Hi Barb, just wanted to check up on how your shoulder is doing? I hope your all mended by now… hug

Thanks! I have an MRI in the morning. Dr thinks I tore my rotator cuff and might need surgery. Pain is still there – trying to sleep is a challenge. Thanks again!

Ouch, that is not sounding good 🤕 how did the MRI go? Do you know when you’ll know more? I hope they manage to fix it up without too much trouble.
I’ve struggled with my shoulder since I fell of the ladder may last summer… this year I did two cortisone shots by a shoulder specialist and lo and behold… it’s way better 😀 I have a new appointment in a couple of weeks, so I’m curious what he says, but if nothing else.. I have figured a way to keep it in check.
I hope they get your shoulder under control without to much trouble, I’ll be crossing my fingers 🤞

Thank you! MRI was a unique experience. My next appointment is Friday afternoon. Hopefully the doctor has the results (since that is my next appointment!) Physical Therapist today commented that I will continue to see him until I have surgery, Guess he suspects a torn rotator cuff too.

Oh no, hope it doesn’t take to long before your back in the game… Arm in a sling can seriously cramp you style 🙁
Just make sure you are careful, Barb and give your body time to heal before your are “high and low” again, we want you back healthy soon 💕

Thanks! Start physical therapy next week and can remove the sling the following week if I’m not in too much pain. Then maybe something can get done.

Just take it easy, that’s all I can say… don’t do stupid thing (like I do) and end up hurting longer than you need to.

I am sorry to hear this – hope the pain is in control and the shoulder has been placed back – that x-ray looks very scary!!!

Pain is better. It’s weird when a doctor says “older people” are more likely to tear and you realize he is talking about you. I don’t feel like an “older” person haha

agreed! no worries I guess the “young” doctor meant with age it becomes easier to tear – that is all. stay young 🙂

Thanks! It’s more frustrating than painful now. Dr wants me in immobilizing sling until July 6th. I HATE not having use of my hand and arm.
