Flexible Ice Pack For Shoulder Novels & Stories

Cloudless. His left shoulder no longer bled. Not because it had stopped. He was nearly drained of blood. His right arm was useless. The bone of his right shoulder broken, the knife still embedded. He could only use his left hand. He raised it in front of his face. It trembled too, but the fingers could still move. He pressed his fingers to the ice surface. The ice was cold, colder than his hand. His fingers froze to it, the temperature transfer making the ice suck at his skin. He wrenched his fingers upward. His fingernail scraped against the ice, leaving a white scratch.

I winced at the sight of the bruising around my ankle joint. "Uhm, I think I can do that, Nabrel. You don't have to–" "Just let me," he cut me off firmly. I pursed my lips because he really looked determined to do it himself. "You should apply an ice pack to your ankle for 15 to 20 minutes every two to three hours in two executive days. You should not walk around, Talianna. Do not be so stubborn," he said in a firm tone. He was gently applying the ice pack on my ankle. His eyes were focused on it as his brows knitted together.

The next day, he woke up sore and limping. During class, Jack could barely concentrate. His mind was busy, thinking about visiting Sandra. After class, Jack went to see Nurse Sandra again. She smiled at him when he stepped into his office and said, "So, Jack. How are you doing." "I ache," Jack replied. "Well, the ice I suggest was to keep down the swelling in the first 12 hours, now we have to apply some heat to aid in the healing." "what kind of heat packs do you have." Jack asked.

He loved it and used it even when he didn’t need it. “You can if you would like to, no longer than ten minutes on. Ice is the most effective during the first forty-eight hours after an injury to reduce or prevent swelling. After that, heat is recommended to promote blood flow to the area.” I recited, knowing he was going to do it anyway. When I worked for him, he took an ice bath every morning and after conditioning or exceptionally strenuous practices. I bent over, grabbed a bottle of water from the mini-fridge under the counter, placed it on top, and turned to leave. “You know the drill. Drink the full bottle, and stay hydrated. Get lots of rest and take it easy on your back.”

Elena was sitting with an ice pack held at the wrong angle, which was the first thing I noticed. "You're holding it wrong," I said. She looked up at me then at the ice pack and back at me with the expression she used when she was deciding whether this hill was worth dying on. "It's fine," she said. "It's not reaching the impact point." "I'm holding ice against my head. I think the general idea is—" I crouched down in front of her, took the ice pack from her hand, and repositioned it. Flat against the temple, just above where the swelling was already starting, angled so the cold covered the surface area. She went very still at this.

**Adrian's POV** The school run happened. Three fifteen. Both of us at the gate. The ice pack had been replaced by a compression wrap under my shirt. Invisible. The shoulder managed. Reduced use. Noah appeared at three seventeen. He looked at us. He assessed. He looked at the ammonite. He looked at me. He looked at the compression wrap invisible under my shirt. He looked at my shoulder. He tilted his head. "You're holding it differently," he said.

“Go ahead.” I looked at him without hesitation. “Can I still hold a hockey stick?” He studied me for a moment before walking to the corner of the room. A practice stick rested against the wall. He picked it up and handed it to me. I wrapped my fingers around the handle. The moment I tightened my grip, a sharp pain shot through my shoulder. My hand trembled slightly. I closed my eyes for a brief second before steadying my breathing. Then I tightened my grip again. The doctor watched quietly.

DAMIEN. I lay flat on the cold wooden floorboards. My right shoulder hung two inches lower than my left. The joint was completely out of its socket. The muscle throbbed with a steady, intense ache. I needed to fix it immediately. I grabbed the thick fabric of my shirt sleeve between my teeth. I clamped my jaws down hard. I pushed my back flat against the solid oak bed frame to gain leverage. I gripped my injured right wrist with my left hand. I pulled my arm forward and twisted the limb sharply to the left.

Her fingers pause, hesitation flickering across her features before she schools her expression and reaches for the ice pack. "Hold still," She commands. "This might hurt a bit" I do as she says, watching her as she wraps the thin cloth she brought with her around the frozen peas before she presses it firmly against my side. A low hiss slips from my lips at the shock of the peas pressing into my skin. Ava doesn’t flinch at my reaction, her jaw tightens as she adjusts the pack against my ribs. Surprisingly, after the initial contact, Ava's touch turns gentle. She presses the pack against my ribs, moving it up and pressing it down again when she feels the swelling beneath her fingertips.

That felt better. Remi coalesced behind me. I spun to see him sitting on the bed. He patted the spot next to him. I crawled on to the tall bed and lay face down. The weight of the ice pack pressed down on my shoulder. Slowly, the cold seeped in. "I don't think the sweatshirt was a good choice." I tried to shrug, but couldn't move too much. He gently lifted my right shoulder and pushed another ice pack between me and the bed. "I'm sorry I wasn't there sooner." He ran his fingers over the ice pack then across my back.
