Dislocated my shoulder on a Saturday, Sunday I made a sling from peeling bark from the hogs pens fence posts, Monday morning my arm was red and swollen, could barely move it. Sent to school, teacher sent me to the nurse and my dad was called…finally had a real sling, had Bert & Ernie as a print. No fuss, no muss.

So for an entire weekend neither of your parents raised any concerns about your dislocated shoulder despite it being red, swollen, and in a sling?

Well, dislocated shoulder. But, yes. I was told when I presented myself wearing the bark sling it was thought I was going to length for attention, sympathy.
