I fell on my ass....AND broke it! Literally!

I completely lost my balance yesterday while cleaning my house and when trying to stop myself from falling over I slid in my socks across the hard wood flooring and flew up into the air landing square on my no longer cushioned tailbone.  Crack!  I have an ass that is as black as blue as you can imagine.  Went and had an x-ray and it's fractured.  Lucky me. 

The doctor I guess was saying that losing almost 200 pounds will probably throw my balance off and may have been a contributing factor to the fall.  Grr!!

Oh no!  I'm sorry to hear that - you must be in so much pain!  I fell down the stairs on my tailbone three years ago, and it took over a year before I wasn't occasionally feeling it, and the pain was hell at first.  And I didn't fracture mine.  (Of course, I was very large at the time, so I probably didn't heal as quickly as you likely will since you aren't putting as much weight on it while it's trying to heal.)

I hope you're good as new soon!  And thanks for the word of warning - I will never do housework again after surgery. :)

I am soo sorry for you.  2 years ago I fell down ass first on our back stairs.  300 lbs falling on my poor fat ass.   I didn't go to the er but probably should have.  I was black and blue  for quite a while.   I also couldn't sit for a long time either.  Probably  could have won America Funniest Videos.  Where are the cameras when  you need them.  LOL

OUch !! 

I hope you feel better and heal fast.

Get yourself a pair of Crocs to wear in the house.  That's what I do (we have mostly italian tiles and they are slippery !)

OMG girl, that sounds painful! And I am really really sorry, but the way you described it is COMPLETELY hilarious. I mean, who breaks their butt?!  

So while you sort of made me giggle with this post, I want you to know that I am definitely NOT laughing at your pain, or your fracture or the fact that you have to deal with this... I sure hope you are OK. Seriously...all giggling aside... Take Care

You're hilarious!  

That sounds awful. Hope you find a cushy place to sit and heal fast
