Nathan vs his hip

Well nathan has had his first hip dislocation, he woke up last night in pain but could not call me because the pain was too bad.  He managed to get out if bed this morning and make it to my room.   The poor kid was crying.  He said I can't walk, my hips are so painful.  Between Gigi and I we managed to get him on the bed to try and get him comfortable.  We had tried my usual hip getting back in trick and it didn't work.   So up on the bed he went I got out the volts ten gel, for pain relief and try to get down any inflammation.  It took about 1/2 hour, but I finally got the hip back in with a very big pop.  It still really hurt but he could stand on his leg.   He then tried my trick and managed to get it firmly back in place.   Poor guy asked why it was so hard to talk and why he couldn't talk loud.   It's hard to talk when you are in that much pain.  

I know many would wonder why we didn't go to the ER.  Well I think they would look at me like I'm nuts, and not sure if they could have gotten it back in themselves.   I also could not carry nathan so I would have had to call an ambulance.  I think this way was a lot less traumatic for all of us.  I know I prefer to be at home when I am in pain.  

We got our friends to fill in for our paper route.  And we went to physio.  This helped nathan a lot, and she checked to make sure the hip was firmly back in place.
