Mikey goes to the hospital


OK, so Thursday evening I came home from work and the Rescue Squad was sitting in my driveway. My initial thought was, oh no, Malcolm has had a terrible allergic reaction...then I see the paramedics in the studio with Mike. It seems that Mike fell while trying to get out the door and totally dislocated his shoulder. We spent the next several hours in the ER at UNC Hospital. An x-ray confirmed the dislocation. Mike got shot up with morphine, then dilaudid. The nurse was really nice and good-looking. We called him Handsome Bob. Eventually 2 doctors showed up and one got on one side of the bed and the other one got on the other side and they yanked his shoulder back into place. Very low tech. Handsome Bob gave Mike some versed, or maybe it was fentanyl...I forget, but whatever it was, it worked really well. Mike got another x-ray and then we went home. Got home about midnight. It was a LONG day. It has become apparent that Mike should not be allowed to go unsupervised or unmedicated. He thinks he needs a life alert and a scooter. In the meantime, he should stay out of the studio. This is the 3rd incident related to a fall in the studio.
