OUCH!!
I am a klutz, plain and simple. Last Monday evening (President’s Day), after a wonderful three-day weekend, I slipped on my socked feet and fell down New Guy’s stairs. To his credit, New Guy came running to my aid and found me sprawled on the stairs half laughing at my clumsiness and half tearing up in pain. Unlike my usual falls (and trust me, I fall often), the pain in my bum did not get better and in fact, it’s still pretty consistent. My vast research (thank you Web MD) has led me to believe that I have either severely bruised, or even worse - actually broken my tailbone. I have tried icing my bum, as well as sitting on one of those donut things. Both help a little, but not tremendously. The absolute worst pain is when I go from a sitting to standing position – OUCH!! Who knew turning 30 would be so hard on my body?

Oh no - I'm sorry to share with you that this happened to me about 5 years ago and it still hurts sometimes :) And, we're the same age..
ReplyDeleteI was 30 when it happened to me & still have twinges, but my deepest pain came from the teenager who accidentally tripped me, helped me up off of the skating rink floor and said very kindly, "Are you alright ma'am?" I was devastated to be called ma'am!!! Blm Mom #2
ReplyDeleteI broke mine last summer. Had it x-ray'd and saw that I chipped it in two places. It was super sore for a while...but it's fine now!!
