“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.”<\/p>\n
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<\/i> perspective. Some. Let’s not get carried away here, people.<\/p>\n
The good news is, my butt is not<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
