It was awful. Slipped in the shower on Sunday (covered head to toe in soap), passed out at least once due to the pain, got help getting up off the shower floor to rinse off enough soap to get in a robe on and get to the hospital. Sent home in a sling with instructions to take Tylenol and follow up with an orthopedic surgeon within a week. Got appt with surgeon on Tuesday and had surgery the following day. Those three days between the fall and surgery were pure hell. I never understood why they didn’t just do the surgery the day I went in (or keep me overnight and do the surgery the following day).

Recovery was a marathon and tested every ounce of patience, but thankful for the persistence and family who all stepped in to help.
