KidsHappen Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I can so relate to that. It sounds like something that would happen to me. Should would be worth seeing on tape though.;) Hope they fix you up real nice at the hospital and your hubby has the rum stocked when you get home. No more snow angels for you for awhile though. Fell better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannqn Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 That would hurt. Hope you are feeling better soon. I have similar issues trying to act younger...and thinner...than I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 You have my sympathies. My husband once had chest pains requiring an ER visit (family history of heart problems so must be taken seriously). The dx also was that he wasn't 20 anymore. Riding down hills on tubes or sleds with kids on one's chest will tend to cause chest pains. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd293 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I don't think it would hurt after she mixed the alcohol and pain meds! Poor you! Do we get a link to the video on YouTube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptwoman Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm sorry. I've not had one but I've seen others with them and know how painful they are. Hope it's less sore soon. Have to say though, your post had me giggling. Post the vid! (without the ouchie pain bit) I just wanna see you making snow angels :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaT Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wow. Hope you feel better soon. I often forget I'm 46.

Remudamom Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 ER popped it back in after xrays and a few laughs. They laughed, not me. One of them clearly thought I was insane, because he asked me if there were grandchildren involved and couldn't believe I was just out playing in the snow. This is the third time in about 5/6 years I've done this. Dh says I didn't fight them half as hard as I usually do when I'm sedated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialmama Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Oh my goodness! That sounds horrible! So do you mean they popped it back in without any drugs? :willy_nilly::svengo: Oh my. Oh my. Oh my! Here's hoping for a speedy recovery, less pain, more rum and morphine (or at least I bet Impish will send you some strong med-cocktail!) Oh and I'm also hoping you have a speedy internet connection so you can post that video! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) No, they gave me two doses of morph to get my winter clothes off of me. Then something else that made me forget what happened next. I remember saying "Don't anyone touch me, please!" and dh said "Wow, no shoulder!" I watched and erased the vid this morning. We even had company when it happened. How embarrassing. You couldn't see anything except me on the ground saying "I can't raise my arm, turn the camera off." Company almost broke his neck trying to get his truck out of the way of the car so we could go into er.

Amy loves Bud Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Good night! I'm so sorry you are in pain. And all I can say is you must have been working those snow angels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Growing older ain't for sissies. Here's a favorite quote to ponder while you heal.... You don't stop playing when you get old, you get old when you stop playing. I was 47 the last time I broke a bone. All the folks over 40 wagged their fingers at me and said no more ice skating. All the folks younger than 40 said wrist guards! I very nearly wrote the above quote on my purple cast. You can do snow angels...just do them with a touch more gentleness next time, sweetie. Passing you the rum, a stack of horse magazines filled with your favorite horsey eye candy, and the TV remote control. Be well very soon.

I talk to the trees Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 :grouphug: You poor dear! I do hope you now have an ample supply of both pain meds and rum! I must confess at this point that the rabid scrapbooker in me is dying to ask if you got photos of the snow angel involved, the ER docs, the x-rays..... (Aw, come on, you know that in years to come this will be one of the grandkids' favorite tales!);) -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ouch! If I have a toddy for you, you'll feel better.... wontcha? I'm near 50 myself, it should work. I almost ran headlong into a tree year before last when I swiped my kid's toboggan to go night sledding. What was I thinking? That I was twenty, probably....

sheryl Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 dislocated shoulder making snow angels, dd caught it on tape. er visit interesting send rum or morphine Good for ya. I'm a tad older and "play" too. Isn't it fun! I wonder why more parents don't. We're the oddity on the street. We do NOT see anyone else playing with their kids outside like we do. Obviously we're not the only ones who play with their kids, but we just don't see them. Hope you're on the mend too.....and YES show us pics!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Nope, no more snow angels for me. This is the third time this has happened, my brother (ortho surgeon) says it doesn't happen enough for surgery, (%^#*) and I'm hoping to ride another day. It'll be rough enough saddling the horses as it is.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
