Hey Peter! One of your EMT's here! Glad to meet you and help you out! Sorry we had to meet under these circumstances. I wish you a happy recovery. I'm very happy we didn't have to break your door down, it wouldn't have been the first time I've been a part of that.

[@peter_draws]

Thank you again!

[@sallyfinch540]

Thanks for taking good care of our Peter!

Thanks for rescuing our guy!!!!

[@myzzery9856]

Thank you for taking such good care of Peter!

[@lzal9204]

Ouch! That sounds painful. I’m a nurse. They don’t let you eat or drink because if they have to take you to surgery, they don’t want you to have food in your stomach. You can vomit and inhale it and get pneumonia. Glad you are doing better!

[@TheresAntsInMyPants]

I always wondered about this, thanks for the information 😁

[@wendilandkammer8368]

It was definately an adventure story. I'm glad your shoulder is back in place.

[@EulipionOutpost]

Sorry you had to go through all that pain. Your second drawing looks like it's still processing the experience! Good that you had excellent EMTs and hospital staff taking care of you.

[@karma13612]

Wow, you got the full treatment! Glad it all worked out OK. Yea, chronic dislocations should be addressed. Make sure you keep the follow up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. As always, your drawings are great and that piano solo was a nice touch!🖋🙋🏼‍♀️❤️🎨👍

[@SouthernArtist77]

I’ve had surgery on a dislocated shoulder, it’s great now after weeks of physical therapy. I will never forget the pain and the questions by hospital staff. Thankfully a nurse recommended an excellent surgery. I’m so sorry you had to go through that pain.

[@behzadk.tabrizi5356]

Hi Peter, nothing is more soothing than listening to you while you draw at the same time.

[@dianachase7867]

I took a nap and woke up with my elbow all wonky. I had a very physical job and had to take so much time off I resigned. Weeks later after one physical therapy appointment I got in bed and was scooching around getting comfortable and felt my back adjust itself back into position. I thought it was arthritis. Not sure how that much discomfort and disability could happen from a nap. Glad it finally healed. You did the only thing you could do. Im glad your friend was with you. Being in the hospital sucks. Glad you’re recovering! Yes please…I second the request for info on your gear here. Love the dark black.

[@charlottepearce7075]

I am just so grateful you got the help you needed.

[@inkscratch]

Goooood golly, what a day

[@repeatdefender6032]

Oh ouch! I'm so sorry, Peter! I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of pains, from endometriosis to cluster headaches, and bad dislocations are some of the most excruciating things I've felt. I have a condition that makes my joints too loose, and I often wake up with a shoulder or knee hyperextending, occasionally dislocating, it's terrible! I'm really glad you called 911 instead of a friend, that was definitely the right thing to do. It's pretty bad that they left you in that much pain for so long though, they should have been on top of pain management as soon as you got there. I hope your sleeping self stops beating up on you!

[@MrsBarnabas]

Peter, if they tell you to wear a sling, *wear it!!!* for as long as they told you to wear it!!!!! The amount of pressure we put on our non-dominant shoulder and arm while sitting at the table working or playing instruments is phenomenal (yes, I know - I have a left shoulder injury and know just how much it's aggravated if I sit too long at the table / play too much guitar for its comfort.) So please, follow through with the treatment they prescribe - especially the physiotherapy, until the _professionals_ tell you all is well, Then, for your own sake, go on making sure that you get enough full body exercise to keep the bones, muscles and heart in good trim! (Yes, I have medical training, so yes, I know what I'm talking about, both as a professional and a patient!)

[@opalskyartwork]

Feel better Peter. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again. Great job on your progress with the piano.

[@stefan9819]

What an adventure, good luck with the recovery!! Thank you for the amazing drawings once again!

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Peter, I have had my shoulder come out of its socket as I slept too! I was only 10 years old! Now my Mom had experience with animals and worked with a Vet when she was younger and she just grabbed my wrist and put her foot against my side and POP! back in it went! I remember it hurt like the dickens (to be very PG). So I never went to the Dr. Well for THAT injury! I do remember that I could not move it hurt so much! I commend you and sharing your experience is no small thing. Thank you for posting this amazing drawing and story!

[@SG-wi5wx]

Aw Peter, I'm so sorry to hear you had this whole experience. I hope you're feeling healed now. Love from New Mexico!

[@PrototypeScope]

Peter, your videos are an inspiration and encouragement to me. You make it work, and it gives me hope that I can too.

[@abouncyfrog]

I’m glad you’re doing okay now! I have sciatica that comes and goes, seemingly without rhyme or reason. I can’t afford physical therapy or anything, but I watched a bunch of KZbin videos on exercises and stretches to keep the pain and stiffness at bay, and it’s really helped me! So I’m sure there are some nice ways of keeping your shoulders strong and healthy so this doesn’t happen again. :)

[@MrsBarnabas]

"! So I’m sure there are some nice ways of keeping your shoulders strong and healthy so this doesn’t happen again. :)" Yes - there are - it's called following the professional's advice and then doing sensible exercise thereafter to keep te whole body in good trim!

[@B-Rob84]

I also deal with shoulder problems. Absolutely the worst pain and so very sore for days after relocation. But ive learned "the hard way" that I cant sleep with my arms up whether on my back or stomach or risk my shoulder slipping. Eventually learned to sleep with my arms down by my side which wasn't easy at first. But i first definitely feel your pain and hope you have a speedy recovery.

[@bonnierosendale]

Oh, dear Peter! Sending you lots of "gentle" cyber-hugs and healing prayers.

[@HeidiSue60]

They won't give anyone anything by mouth if there's a possibility that they will be going under, because of throwing up. I'm SO GLAD you're okay after all. Too bad everyone was so busy they couldn't help you with your horrible pain for literally hours. Also, you're doing great with the piano! You remind me of Jamie Foxx, who learned piano for his role as Stevie Wonder...creatives often have this multi-talented thing going on, and you continue to boggle my mind.

[@CloudyWinter1111]

I'm glad your okay Peter and you can keep making your art.

[@pixill4ted593]

Wow what a story, glad you’re feeling better though. Thanks for all you do!

[@alisdraws]

hey what the hell kinda hospital is that that puts you in several monitors and oxygen for a dislocated shoulder

[@Taka_Takata]

Exactly. Peter, I'm glad you're feeling OK, and you can be proud of being quite resilient too, making these wonderful drawings right after that bad experience! Now back to the hospital: I got to say that from a European point of view, it sounds like the typical shitty north-American hospital experience, where concern #1 is making the most money from the "customer". Understaffed, long waiting time, unnecessary technology etc. and all the while the shareholders are filling their pockets. Well, luckily the EMS crew were there for the human "touch" (ouch!) Dilaudid is probably the oldest opioid, don't start with any of that stuff! You should have asked for a big fat joint... Given your repeated dislocations, you should NOt leave it at that. With age, it can get really bad. The best advice I found in a quick web search is a French webpage. For a translation, connect to this website: tinyurl.com/y7e4etvj then in the Google Translate URL box, delete the HTTPS:// and replace it with this link: tinyurl.com/2cywt68o , hit Enter, wait a few seconds, refuse the cookies, and read. Directly through Google Translate doesn't work, only half the text is translated, or it thinks it's german etc. The specialist to see is an orthopedic surgeon. Ask the university for a recommendation, and whether they offer a better insurance plan. Mens sana in corpore sano

[@paulhedman7387]

I'm glad they got you fixed up Peter. I know the pain all too well having dislocated both of my shoulders, the left one twice. Take it easy for a while and you'll be good as new. Great drawings and a nice concert at the end. Bye.

[@mjpete27]

The reason they will not give you water or any food is to keep your stomach empty in case you have complications and you need surgery and you do not need to experience aspiration! THAT is no fun either! Lovely Piano and excellent drawing as always!

[@claireowo]

glad everything worked out with your arm peter! the pianos sounding great

[@March22012]

Beautiful drawing! I hope your shoulder heals quickly.

[@jaminjones4014]

So glad you’re better and with help hopefully you’ll resolve the problem with an orthopedic. I also hope the drawing helps to you in feeling better.

My pup liked your 'Joyy to the World'. Also, beware of separate billing from the doctor. Don't know if it's the same there as here in NV, but we get separate billing from the hospital, doctor(s), anesthesiologist, and sometimes others. It's crazy. Thanks for the wonderful multiple art and story.

[@terahmichelle416]

Glad to hear your better, Peter. Sounds like quite the experience. I dislocated my elbow in my sleep several months ago and didn't go to the hospital. I just toughed it out for like a week or so. Couldn't bend it, nothing! Completely useless and so painful. I kept telling my friends and family , id go in if it didn't get better in a day or so. It was almost 2 wks like that. Im so stubborn 😅 Anyways, was standing on my back porch on my phone playing pokemon go and about dropped my phone on the concrete. My natural reaction was to try to catch it and my damn elbow popped back in place. I was stunned but so happy. Felt like it never happened .How does one even dislocate a elbow in thier sleep. So stupid! Btw pain meds are a respiratory suppressor. 😊

[@JuniMcfadden]

good story! (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

So glad you're doing better now, and I hope you find out a way to prevent future occurrences. You've managed to turn it into an interesting story even though it was horrible for you.

[@wanderingangelstudio1359]

I have shallow shoulder and hip sockets. I used to dislocate my shoulder all the time as a kid. My pediatrician taught my mom how to pop it back in. Otherwise, we’d have been in his office several times a month. It has only happened a few times since adulthood. So glad they got you squared away. You definitely have the finger length to play piano. My son does to but has no inclination to play.

Glad you're ok and that it wasn't so expensive. My mom got a very large bill for an ambulance ride in the mail. Thankfully, she didn't have to pay it, but some of these costs are ridiculous.

[@jeffreybarton1297]

Lucky you're not in the UK. I had a spinal injury. Laid on the floor, incredible pain, could barely walk. I called 999 and tried to get an ambulance. After a few questions, they refused to send one...... I had to phone my sister to come over and drag me to hispital. Had a year off work and surgery to get me back to normal.

[@recoveringsoul755]

So if you had no sister they'd just let you expire there on the floor?

[@jeffreybarton1297]

@@recoveringsoul755 I think if I'd started crying they might have sent someone. Later on, the only way I could get proper pain killers from my doctor was to cry in his office. I don't think he believed my injury was bad until he actually saw my scans, then he let me have Morphine. I think I might just be good at dealing with pain. Years later, I hobbled into A+E with a knee injury, and it wasn't until they took an X-Ray that they realised I'd smashed holes in the top of my Tibia and and snapped a bone spur off the side as well. They thought I'd just sprained it, judging from my general happy demeanor. That seems to be the trick to get treatment, cry, scream and wail.

I’ve had this happen to me twice. Except I’ve woken up with the shoulder already dislocated so idk what I did while sleeping. Anyway I was sat in the emergency room for a solid 4 hours before they finally put me into twilight sedation and popped that sucker back in. I woke up in a weird state of euphoria and just knowing I was no longer in excruciating pain had me laughing my tush off.

[@ptur12345]

I believe the word you were looking for was 'whatever'. ^^ Anyway, I was struggling to put the difference between whoever and whomever into word, so here's some useful info I found on the internet; Just like who, whoever is a subjective pronoun and is used as the subject of sentences, clauses, and phrases. For example: Whoever made this cake is a master pastry chef. Just like whom, whomever is an objective pronoun used as the object of sentences, clauses, and phrases. For example: Give this message to whomever is working at the front desk. Hope this helps, cheers😊

[@BeardedBarley1]

@@ptur12345​​⁠​​⁠ ​​⁠- It would have been “whoever,” not “whatever,” because the pronoun is describing a person as an antecedent, not an inanimate object. And yes, it would have been “whoever,” not “whomever,” because it would have been used as a subject of the clause, not an object. In your sentence with using “whomever” as an objective form, you are correct but because it then would have been used as the object of a preposition in the sentence, not an object of a verb in a sentence. Prepositions are words like this: among, to, from, above, below, between, inside, outside, in, on, into, out, down, up, with and etc. Verbs which have objects that follow them are action words like this: run, walk, drive, swing, skip, shake, take, shove, push, sit, stand, shoot, clean, talk, write, draw, teach, and etc. However, it gets a bit tricky with state of being verbs like this: is, was, be, have been, had been, were, am, are, and etc. These are followed by subjective form pronouns. So if someone calls and asks for you, you would respond with “I am he/she,” not “I am him/her.” It takes a bit of practice, but the use of pronouns in their proper forms can be grasped over time. But as a heads up, I don’t think the person above was really asking for help but trying not to be corrected, as could be seen by the use of the words “grammar police” instead of “those who know about grammar.” I only corrected you because you seem interested in the subject and were correcting the other person. Just so you know.😄

I have a connective tissue disorder and my joints like to slip out. I know it wouldn't have helped with this situation, but for the future it can be a good idea to teach someone how to support your arm (grabbing it inside the bicept and the other hand above the elbow) and you can move your own body into the arm. It's much easier than it sounds, and you can feel where the socket is in this super weird indescribable way (of course the internet says not to, so ya know..) The one thing I try to keep in mind is to gently stretch everything (like the tiniest lean away) before 'landing' into place, so you don't pinch anything.

3 weeks ago you posted a video titled, “ Channeling all of my energy into my fingertips”. Perhaps you channeled too much and that why you dislocated your shoulder. Also, I went through the same exact situation, and ended needing surgery later for that shoulder. Wishing you the best, God bless.
