Broken ass!

Hi Solo,
I'm wincing in sympathy..so sorry this has happened at this time of year, but there's never a good time to crack the Coxyx.
Yes, I have done the same thing before. I received a knee to the butt in 1984 whilst playing rugby and that did a great job of cracking and splintering the bone.
Good news is that it will heal with help from that lovely donut support, just be prepared for all sorts of whoopee cushion jokes and pranks like someone pulling it from under you as you go to sit down. Hilarious and painful!
Still to this day, my Coxyx will ache in a dull pain fashion if I sit too long on a plane seat for example. I also recall taking a while to turn over in bed, get up in the morning or get up from a sofa...I'm sure you're discovering that too.Hang in there and take it easy. Hope you get some relief over the Holidays.
Nigel
p.s. Thanks for all your postings and shares in 2008. Illuminating and inspiring.

Ouch!
An unfortunate injury for someone who sits in front of a keyboard and monitor for a living. You have my sympathy, sir.Put lots of holiday "spirits" into that eggnog to numb the pain...

My wife has cracked her Tailbone a few years ago. Very painful. . . and day before yesterday she slid on the ice and landed on her right butt Cheek. She's in a lot of pain now. She's a legal secratary and she's on her tushie all day so needless to say. . .she feels your pain. Get one of those donut pillows.
Happy Christmas anyway.

Kids and ramps... I did the same thing when our ramp broke just as I was starting to "Evel Knievel" my bicycle and landed hard on dry, hard dirt. I remember trying to explain to my brothers "I think this is serious" as they were laughing their asses off.
"I feel your pain."

The last time I tried anything like that I got a broken finger in my right hand that still does not bend as well as the others... I wish you a quick recovery Solo, and a happy Christmas to everyone.

Hi Pete
believe me, I can´t feel your pain but I´m sympathetic to your plight... But, you got away with something which could have been much much worse. The coccyx cannot be reset or fixed, in fact, I know of a woman who had to deliver a very big baby, which when coming out from the birth canal broke her coccyx. As a result 20-something years later her tail bone still faces sideways! You´re indeed lucky your´s is not sticking out, like Man´s lost or wagging tailCheers,

Ouch Pete. I almost did that over 20 years ago. That involved bike shoes and an asphalt driveway. Went almost horizontal down on my tail bone and it hurt so much I just lay there staring at the sky. Nothing broke I don't think.

Pete...your in my neck of the woods...the Cape is only a few hours ride north from me! Sorry to hear about your ass ( boy, you don't get to say that very much) that is a bad injury for someone who sits down for a living to get....you might want to move your PC temporarily to a standing configuration!

A brilliant tale (or should I say tail?) I too have broken my coccyx, but in a slightly more embarrassing accident involving a bike saddle and a lamp post.

Merry Christmass, Petey!

Hard luck Pete, hope you mend soon. I'm attaching a pic of you, me and Andrew in Mountain View. It might cheer you up a bit

Pete,
Hope you mend soon. I'm surprised more people don't break their asses since they're already cracked. -
OMG that was too funny... the story and the responses.
but - I hope you heal quickly, Pete! I'm laughing w/ you, not at you...it is only by the grace of God I have not done the very same thing as you...
btw - my kids went down the hill w/out me last year and their sled was like some sort of tree-seeking missile and slammed them into it... luckily they were not killed... just bumps on the heads from tree branches...
they were done w/ sledding for th season after that.
now they're begging to go again.

Pete, I have not seen any posts from you in a while. I hope that you are just resting and visiting family for the holidays. I sure would hate for you to be seriously hurt.
-
Hey y'all, I'm good... kinda. I am mobile and all, I am still a little sore and need to ease down when attempting to sit (like a pregnant woman).
Just got back and got a bit of work, will be active again shortly.
Here are a few pics:My son and I after a non butt busting slide.(moments before my ass kicking ramp)

Glad to hear you are on the mend Solo
