“It’s going to hurt a lot. It’s going to hurt for a long time. There’s not much that you can do about it.”
Of course, in the grand scheme of things, “fatal,” “inoperable” and “we did everything that we could” would be worse. Much, much worse. Despite my propensity towards whininess, I do have some perspective. Some. Let’s not get carried away here, people.
The good news is, my butt is not broken. I suppose that my ample padding saved the day. The bad news is, who cares if it’s not broken if it still hurts like a bitch? I’m icing it right now and I will switch to heat later. I’ll take a bunch of ibuprofen. Beyond that, all I can do is wait. And not work out. Because, as the doctor said, “if it hurts to walk, don’t you think that it’s going to hurt to run.” Dammit.
I’m trying to keep a positive outlook but, despite the fluffy superficial things that I tend to write about here, I am having a bad month. A crappy month. A month of epic proportions. Let’s just say that I try not to talk shit on here about people that I know in real life and leave it at that. And, now, it feels like the universe just kicked me while I was down. Or, to be more literal, pushed me down the stairs while I was down. Grrr.
I’m in pain, I’m frustrated, I can’t work out and I’m home for the afternoon in a house that has a plentiful supply of Christmas Cookies. This is a recipe for disaster.
Oh, that sucks. Is it a bruised tailbone? Cause that hurts like a bitch. They couldn’t even give you some good drugs?
I would totally bring you a mocha if I didn’t live several states away.
🙁 awwww girl! have a cookie and watch some tv, dont get off your butt and make K wait on you hand and foot!!
Aww babe that sucks!
Is there a pool nearby you that you have access to? Swimming tends to be excellent therapy because there’s no impact and exercising local muscles can help expedite healing.
Then again, I have it on good authority that Christmas cookies have magical healing powers. Give yourself a break, have some cat therapy, and feel better!!!
Charlie the Unicorn knows how you feel.
Also, can I recommend the healing/painkilling properties of wine? It doesn’t have nutrition facts on it, which means it must be healthy, right? Right? (If you were near here, I would totally bring you some.)
Awww sweetie that SUCKS! watch some TV and have a cookie!
Awwwww, Hopie. I’m sorry. The puppies and I send love and hugs.
