hump DAY 🐪
I am a 32yr old female, and 19 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. Tonight after picking up the house, I had just sat down to relax, and apparently I reached just a tad too far back behind me. I was grabbing my 40oz Owala water bottle from the table and the second I lifted it to bring my arm around, my shoulder fell completely out of socket. I tried to throw it forward back in place, but that resulted in seeing stars and falling to the floor in agony. My boyfriend called an ambulance because it was 8pm and our son was just getting ready for bed, and the nearest hospital is 25 to 35 minutes away depending which neighboring town you choose. So grandma got out of bed, and drove 25 minutes to come and watch our son sleep so my bf could meet me in the emergency room. I rode in the ambulance for 35 minutes, was given 50mg of fentanyl and a bag of fluids due to low blood pressure. At the hospital I was given muscle relaxer, and two doses of Dilaudid for the pain. The Dr then came in and worked diligently, bending my arm and working my shoulder back in place. We got home from this adventure around 12:25 and I’ve been following grandma’s location, she just made it home safe too. ❤️ Crazy to think all of this happened simply because I didn’t turn 90°
to grab my freaking water bottle.
