It's been a very long day, and I'm really tired. Today was Aaron's appointment with the orthopedic doctor, so I spent most of the day worrying about how that was going to go. (Backstory) Aaron has been having issues with his left shoulder for about a year. At one point we ended up in the ER thinking he was having a heart attack. Our good-for-nothing-primary care physician (heretoforward known as GFNPCP) said there was nothing wrong. Great. So he has been trying to exist with the pain for some time now. Then, Valentines Day he took a fall down the stairs, hitting that shoulder and putting him in another whole dimension of hurt. It was subluxing, and dislocated/relocated twice. Then he fell UP the stairs, and hit it again. Good grief. So the last couple of weeks have been miserable.
So today the ortho doc set him up for an appointment for an MRI and gave him some new meds to try. The MRI is scheduled for March 13th, then we will know if he needs surgery. I'm hoping these new meds do the trick too- I'm not used to being the one watching someone in pain, and I don't like it! It makes me feel so helpless.
