Not me this time, but Nat...
Has anyone got any experience of having an Acromion fracture?
The way it was described on Sat was that the end of her shoulder is 'hanging off'. It's likely not relevant but it was caused by a bike crash (pothole turning the bars) at ~25mph which seems to have thrown her over onto the back of her L shoulder.
As usual emergency care (via Airedale) minor injuries was fantastic. She's been given an appointment with ortho today that's 2wks from now which seems quite a long time to sit at home taking Co-codamol. I think she may get private health cover through her new employer but it's not overly clear to me how that works (will she need a referral from ortho first etc.).
