#2-sometime in 1994 whilst being stupid at a Dinosaur Jr show in Melbourne, (during support act)- made it to the hospital and back in time for the 20 minute solo's (thx KT)
#3-sometime in 1995 during my sleep-it woke me up pretty fast-emergency room again
#4-early part of 1999-backstroke at the local pool, confirming the pointlessness of backstroke-ambulance comes and administers great stuff and the muscles spasm and the shoulder returns to proper place
#5-skip to sumer 2006, boogie boarding in OC, it cost more than a Borge Mogensen sofa for the OC ninjas to put it back in place (I'm with you M Moore)
#6-summer of 2009, tying up a rowboat in WI-boat pushes back shoulder pops out and I fall into lake-really crazy hollering is heard on the lake (first successful attempt to reposition shoulder in socket by myself)
#7-today, *never position an extension ladder over a Navajo saddle blanket on a wooden polished floor, the ladder slides out, you fall and stupid shit happens to your body (second successful attempt to reposition shoulder back in place)
**electrician laughs a lot

were you "thinking of the ladder"?
Ouch! I know the pain well. Once it happens, it keeps happening. I always put it back myself, until the last time that required an extremely painful ambulance ride and an introduction to the joys of morphine. I finally had surgery. I think the problems that causes are slightly less bad that what it attempts to cure.

is that surgery still on the table?
I feel this- used to have dislocating knees (did lots of biking to repair that) and then my front bike tire jammed and twisted into a wet train track- dislocating my elbow. I put that one back in myself.I usually kick my knees back in. ow. Maybe an excellent chiropractor can help you if the medical community does not. Be safe.
fuck, are u in a sling again?
no sling-just a lot of tape (less painful than last year)
-saying yes to surgery after January (live cam interweb feed/twitter updates etc)
it's NOT a good thing when it gets to the point that you can put it back in place yourself, it means your ligaments are like rubber bands...((((o))))
You paint a very evocative word-picture. I could almost hear the sickening thud.
Now: take two Bayer Aspirin and three fingers of Johnny Walker Red.
Sounds like you've been 'through the wars' as they say, hope it heals up nice and fine!
