I Fell.

Literally.  I caught the edge of my cushion (I got another Ride one for Christmas, so it is higher), and fell. I hurt my shoulder. Bad. For the first 3-5 hours after falling, I couldn't feel my hand amd now I have extreme tingling and pain.  I went to the medi-clinic and the doctor told me take Advil and ice it,but the cold aggrivates the pain.  I called my OT and asked if he knew why my Ortho doctor never prescribed anti-inflammatories and he asked what had happened,  I explained and he told me to go to the ER because he was concerned about nerve damage.  Mom was away and dad was out of town so, I wasn't able to go, but, my mom got back and called my Orthos office and was told she was away until Monday and the on-call Ortho doctor is only there for emergencies and apparently, this is not an emergency. I was NOT happy.  I am so frustrated that we finally got things to a point where I was doing really well and now, I don't know what is going to happen.


Please say a prayer that Ortho will be able to see us soon and that this issue will be able to solved quickly and not adversely afffect my walking, wheelchair skills, or job.
