ouch!

A couple of days back, my bro hurt his shoulder playing rugby in KB. And I was woken up from my slumber a little after 2 in the morning by my parents asking me wat to do. He was put in a sling, probably a boardarm sling to hold the shoulder in place plus to maybe help immobilise the joint. All I can remember was mum telling me that he was in pain & that he couldn't move his shoulder. Plus the sling was making his neck hurt.

My advice was go see a physio, hahaha, I can't do anything cause we're miles apart & I can't actually assess him to know wat's really wrong. But do ice it & gentle passive pain-free shoulder movements, this will help the neck pain as well.

Just today I was told that he may have torn one of the shoulder muscles. Most likely supraspinatus, a rotator cuff muscle. So he won't be coming in with mum & dad tomorrow but a few days later. So that he can get an MRI done to see how bad the tear is or if there is any tear. And there may be a need for surgery if its serious, pending wat the orthopeadic surgeon says.

Lord, I pray that as my brother gets an MRI done & sees an orthopeadic surgeon later in the week may you keep him calm & at peace. More so for my parents, reassure them during this time particularly as they leave to fly over to Melbourne. Lord, you are in control & thank you for my cousin's successful operation & safe flight back to Brunei.
In Your awesome Name,
AMEN.
