I am very glad that worked out for you!

Was that during the time in 2020 when they were telling people with respiratory symptoms to stay home unless you're dying, because we don't want you bringing covid to the hospital?

I don't recall that it was, it was Labor Day weekend, Sept 5 or 6. There weren't a lot of people in the Emergency room, it was a Sunday morning.
My memory is a little fuzzy, as it was a (physically) painful time.

Me too!

I recall thinking that the arm would feel better after the dislocation was reduced, and getting a little tearful in the car on the way home telling my husband that it didn't.

He told me it took 2 strong guys to pull the arm out enough to get it back in place, and said I shouldn't expect it to feel better for a while after that. I guess it's not like the movies.

Yeah that is super unrealistic in the movies!

How is it doing now?

It's mostly good... After wearing a splint/immobilizer for 8 weeks, I had surgery to repair the rotator cuff. Neither arm is as strong or mobile as before, but both are functional.

The forced inactivity actually bought me another 2 years of being able to knit, as it diminished my hand arthritis!
