Hi all,
We've been back to the A & E department again today with Grahams shoulder ( see kayaking). He has been in a lot of pain all week, struggling with work and not sleeping. So today we spent three and a half hours in A & E. He has had it x rayed and had an examination with a doctor who said the likelihood is that he has damaged the muscles around his shoulder blade and weakened them, thus causing the pain. She has signed Graham off work for at least a week, and he is to rest and keep it in a sling...she has also prescribed an abundance of pain killers to try and get on top of the pain. She has also referred Graham for physio, we are covered by ACC ( payments we make out of wages each week), so we can find a private physio and the costs will be covered. Graham has also been given notes and been referred to a GP, with the recommendation he is sent to see an orthopaedic specialist for further investigation.
Got home and he was shattered and so had a kip!!
I thought i'd be creative and started making things out of flax leaves I got out of the garden...
Will keep you all posted...at the minute its just rest, pain killers and no work.
