I'm feeling pretty darn guilty.
Lacy came out and did lots of heavy lifting the other day... when she already had a sore shoulder (I didn't know at the time) ... and well... she lifted Stew's incredibly heavy drawers with Griffin, and hurt her shoulder even more.
Last night she ended up in Hospital as it was so very painful, and going numb, pins and needles and so on.
Kelly took her to hospital, and they were there for the majority of the evening, getting X-rays and so on.
Seems she's had a rotator cuff injury for a month or so, and the other day's activities just kicked it into another level of pain.
So now she's in a sling and has to go back in a month to see if the swelling has gone down, so hopefully then they can see more of what's going on in her shoulder. *sigh*
LOL.
I will ring her later on today and get an update on how she's feeling. But for now... I better get up and at 'em.
ONWARD...
And...
Gotta go... work calls.
So two jobs today. One was a private house clean... which was a doodle. Love this home, the dog is gorgeous and the cat is even half nice! (I'm not a cat sorta person)
The dog is a small type of wippet-y thing, she's adorable. I get lots of loves from her.
After finishing that home, I came home and did some cleaning here. Then I grabbed some lunch... watched Home and Away etc and then... Off to work at the Rest Home.
It was a laundry shift today, so not a long shift. I am really loving the rest home work... it's hard work being on me feet all the time but I really enjoy the company. The other people who work there have really accepted me as 'one of them' now, so it's neat. Lots of laughs.
And the oldies? I love them. And apart from a couple of really GRUMPY old men, most of them seem to enjoy talking to me, giving me a hard time in jest! And I love talking to them, even if it's only for a few minutes while I'm in their room.
Both items I put on the 24 hr, $1 auction got bought and taken away today. Yaaa, that's less stuff cluttering up me house.
Now.. I'm listening to music on my computer, earphones on, and watching TV half heartedly. Coronation Street is on tonight, but I'm giving it a miss cos I need to get to bed at a decent time. I'm trying to make sure I don't get overtired this week.
Oh no, I feel her pain. I've had surgery on both shoulders because of rotator cuff issues. Maybe they'll offer her an x-ray guided cortisone shot, it might help.
ReplyDeletesorry Ma I didn't no my shoulder and so on was that bad at the time, and well was meant to go for those x rays way sooner than that but yea guess my doctors are a bit slack,so yea knew I had a sore shoulder and weird left arm but coz I'm tough thought not much of it till well yesterday ops, so was my fault for trying to be tough.
ReplyDeletebut hay at least my Sling is Blue right lol 😂 🤣
Worst part about rotator cuff injuries is that they take months to heal. Hopefully they'll get on top of the pain and she can manage ok.
ReplyDeleteOuch Lacy much pain !!
ReplyDeleteum yea a bit but I'm tough lol 😂 and really I shouldnt of done half the lifting knowing how sore my shoulder and back is but yea me being me...ill keep going untill something actually snaps so at the end of the day it's no one's fault but my own.
DeleteFeel the pain Lacy and its always the way. (dont feel bad Chris) Same as here , have the same injury (smiles) and they said 4 to 6 months cos I am in a diff Higher age bracket to Lacy lol and cos its my right arm and I am right handed its only when The pain hits on movement I remember it
ReplyDeletegr8 idea the sling thats what my DH reckons I shouldve got at the time but I waited over 3 weeks to go to Doc in case it went away on its own.
Hope you had a nice sunny day there like we have here ..
Take it easy Lacy, let your body have time to repair - just think - you can be the one sitting issuing instructions next time :-)
ReplyDeleteJezz I did my fair share too let me assure you. Though the kids did the really heavy ones. *smiles*
ReplyDeletehaha your algds mum and yes I can vouch you did your fair share 😊💋
DeleteOuch ouch i did both my shoulders a few years ago and had rotator cuff syndrome in both. Couldnt even wipe me bum or brush my hair withoùt pain.
ReplyDeleteOuch hope Lacy feels better soon. Good to see your spirits are lifted. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like your job at the rest home, the people really do make the jobs more enjoyable.
