07/07/07 Wedding and Vacation in Coeur D'Alene


Arrived in CDA, ID on 07/03. Our brand new Seadoo jetski anxiously waiting for us to hop on and take off. However, the place was buzzing with wedding plans. Jerry took the opportunity to put a coat or two of wax on his new jetski. Later on that night Jerry had severe pain under his arm and around into the back and shoulder area. Jerry could not get comfortable that night at bedtime to lay in bed so we propped him up in the recliner chair downstairs and by the next early morning Jerry could hardly move. He tried to get himself out of the recliner and landed on the floor unable to move and get up. Jerry's sister Joni came upstairs and woke me up by saying "Jerry's worse, I think we need to take him to the emergency". The ER doctor took x-rays and did not see anything on the x-ray. Evaluated Jerry and determined that Jerry required musle relaxer and pain medication. The doctor also placed Jerry's arm in a sling and secured it with a wrap around his body to stabilize the arm and shoulder. Unfortunately, after several days... Jerry was still in quite a bit of pain. Jerry's sister took him to a local chiropractor, Jerry had a massage and still with only minimal relief. With all the additional medications Jerry was taking he was sleeping a lot and while he was awake, was just not his happy, funny self.
