About the bra thing - I always did mine up at the front and eased it round to the back because of my frozen shoulders. Until I got a front loading bra LOL

Had an appointment letter come through the other day for 1st December. Another x-ray and consult with the lovely consultant. Feeling a little more positive now about everything and can't wait to start physio and get back to normal. It's amazing what you can manage with one useful arm. Unfortunately I am right handed and it's that side I fell on! But, onwards and upwards aye? My daughter has, needless to say, been a superstar!

So pleased that everything looks a lot more positive for you, Shirls. It is not the easiest injury to heal, but it sounds as though you are doing well. I’m right-handed as well, and my right shoulder froze on me overnight back in June. There are still things I can’t do with it (the bra thing for one) and it hurts like the bejesus in some positions. Other times I forget there is a problem. With some dedicated physio, I’m sure you will be back to normal in no time.

Just an update, mum has another x-ray and assessment at the hospital tomorrow. But I must say she is doing brilliantly! I do believe that she will slowly but surely get full use of her arm, she's doing her exercises every day but not too much and am sure the Dr will be pleased with her progress. He has sent her a copy of the letter he sent to her GP and we know that providing she feels capable she will be referred to a physiotherapist tomorrow. Am sure all will be good, but for now, here is a picture of the nasty bruise she still has!!!

I was going to make a joke about elder abuse by family members, but in this age of pompous righteousness and cancel culture, I thought better of it. We all know you love your mother dearly, Sam, and I know you are looking after her as best as she will allow you to. ❤️ That certainly is the mother of all bruises, Shirls. Good luck with the physio tomorrow. Xx

Thank you peeps for your comments. Good news yesterday with the consult....breaks have all healed!!! It's been 5 weeks too!! Have still got bruises, pain and restricted movement, but physio hopefully will sort that out.
Sam has taken pictures on her phone of my x-rays!! I'm sure she will post them if anyone is interested. We are very inquisitive and interested in anything medical, so are aways asking questions and researching stuff that is medical. The consultant didn't seem to mind!!

Great the exam went well and the consultant was agreeable in answering questions. I also ask lots of questions. I once had a doctor tell me that I think too much and I should just do what he says. Needless to say I didn't go back to him.
