a chip on HIS shoulder!

well, my dad now officially & literally has a chip on his shoulder....

he fell on one of the steps at church and hit his knees & caught himself with his hands/arms....his right shoulder hurt, so i told him we should go to the ER (like a block from church!!).....they got him triaged, waited an hour, got him in a room, waited an hour, a doctor finally came, waited 30 minutes, they took some x-rays, waited another 20 minutes, some guy came in with a sling, waited another 15 minutes...and finally the doctor came back -- he has to go to an ortho doctor tomorrow for proper diagnosis & follow-up.....

BUT, from the x-rays, it appears he has chipped the ball part of the ball & socket joint of his shoulder...

so, now he has taken a vicodin, is resting at home, and wondering what will happen next....i am just wondering if i need to call in to work tomorrow......
