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!
