20 years ago, I dislocated my shoulder taking out the trash (yeah, I know
)
I had a friend come pick me up and take me to the hospital and get it popped back into place. I had to take it easy for a while, and do physical therapy to get most of the strength and range of motion back (although it never fully recovered).
When I was giving my friend an update about a week later, he said, "Bless your heart!" and my brain kinda crashed for a moment, because it never occurred to me that the phrase could actually be used unironically and non-sarcastically. XD
