Fallen down the stairs for the second time in 6 months. Amongst other accidents.

Feeling mentally and emotionally broken by it all, and that's disregarding the physical injuries.

Right now I'm awaiting x-ray results for my shoulder. Bets on break Vs dislocated... Been waiting a few hoursbut resus is busy and I'm majors.

I'm hoping I don't need surgery. I can't afford the time off work.

Anyone for keeping me company and talking me through the emotional rollercoaster?

Fyi, this will be a ginormous drip feed asi don't know what will become relevant.

I’m sorry about your shoulder.
You can contact the Cinnamon Trust https://cinnamon.org.uk/ for help with your pet. They have volunteers who’ll walk, feed, medicate yoyr pet.
Any problems with your employer contact ACAS 0300 123 1100.
Do you have a tens machine? I find that helps with pain.
To sleep sitting up ( horrible I know when you have back pain ) use all the pillows, folded duvets you have as cushioning.

I'm so sorry you are struggling so much. I hope you can get some sleep.

I shall try cinnamon trust tomorrow. Thanks.

They won't prescribe anything other than what I've been using for my back, so Gabapentin and codeine. I can't sit comfortably for long enough to sleep upright right now so that advice will have to be ignored.
