Shawn's Hiking Accident
29/10/24 14:44
While I was out hiking in the mountains close to where my son lives, I was climbing down a cliff to reach a waterfall when I slipped and fell several feet landing on my right arm and dislocating it. I was in considerable pain, but assessed the situation and realized I was going to have to try and get my shoulder put back in place. I was three miles from the trailhead and my vehicle so I decided to try and do it. Thankfully I was successful and was able to get down the mountain safely. I visited the doctor and am doing therapy three times a week. It has been 4 weeks now and there is some measurable improvement. I still do not have full mobility of that arm but am praying it will soon heal completely.
