My sweetie, <b>rjk</b> just called from me from the hospital. He’s been in the hospital all day because he managed to dislocate his shoulder.
In his sleep. <snicker>
They will be operating tomorrow (he doesn’t know what time), so keep your fingers crossed for him that everything goes well.
(They put him in the pediatric ward - I told him he should fit right in)
Obviously I’ve been spending too much time on LiveJournal
Best wishes!
A dislocated shoulder? Ow!
Get better soon, rjk. Watch those late-night manoeuvres, y’hear?
God, that’s gotta hurt!
Sending happy thoughts your way . . . good luck! Hope he gets well soon!
Sweetheart, not enough information for me. How do you expect me to charge up there and circumvent the border without knowing what hospital he is in? Email me, hon, and I will be your surrogate …you.
Much Love,
Cheri
[sub]well, not REALLY your surrogate you, but you know what I meant.[/sub]
Hope all goes well, rjk Best Wishes.

Ouch! I don’t think I want to know how he managed to do that in his sleep.
Best wishes, rjk, and may you get lots of good pain meds.
Robin
BTW, for those who don’t know us, we have an LDR. He lives in Vancouver, I live in Texas.
So you can’t blame me!
Thanks for the good wishes, everyone, and thanks especially to Scotti. There’s an email headed your way.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Random Expert!
He’s got my good thoughts! Hope everything works out okay.
Well, he isn’t going into surgery until monday, so he’s back at home right now.
In heavy restraints. 
I called the hospital to find out if I could come up to visit, and after a slight problem (having to do with the fact that they couldn’t identify the patient only known as Bob and I couldn’t come up with his last name), an exhaustive search through old emails to come UP with his last name and another phone call…triumphantly asking for Bob Lastname…they finally put me through to Bob’s nurses station. They informed me that Bob was in OR and I should call back this evening.
Well, of course I thought I had better call Zy and tell her they were operating on her sweetie, just in case she didn’t know already…and boy was I surprised to find out that Bob is HOME. I sure hope they aren’t operating on some OTHER Bob using OUR Bob’s xrays! 
I called Bob to say hi and so forth, and we discussed the fact that this might be most painless operation he’ll ever have…sort of an operation in absentia.
All of which is probably a good thing, since I cannot find my birth certificate and they might not have let me back into the country. I was planning on pleading stupidity…“But I didn’t KNOW I needed my birth certificate to get back in…won’t you accept my driver’s license, credit card, picture ID from Costco?”…but I might have had to move in with Bob in the hospital. Which would have been fine, since he isn’t there anyway. So they must have an open bed.
My head hurts.
Yes, here I am at home, on special pass until tomorrow night. I hope they aren’t so confused when I do make to the OR!
Neither the doctors nor I can figure out how this happened - if Zyada was here, maybe, but not while I’m home alone.
Well, typing one-handed is a pain, so I’ll go take some drugs and have a nap. Thanks for all the good thoughts!
Just wanted to bump this up, Bob will be in surgery sometime today.
Best of luck to the two of you.
Why didn’t he try to put it pack in ala Lethal Weapon?
Well, I tried to talk him into that.
“Just think, you could win bets getting out of straight jackets!”
But I think the fractured joint kinda dissuaded him.
Leave it to Bob to come up with a new way to commit this injury.
Such an attention hog! Try getting a mohawk or a tongue piercing next time, Bob! Surgery is so passe.
how did it go? has the shoulder been located?
