Yup, fractured coccyx. Heck, I didn't even need the doctor to explain it to me. I knew exactly what it was when it happened (but sure, there's the whole SuperMom denial thing I go thru), however, when that film went onto the light box... crap. You don't need any medical certifications whatsoever to know it's broken when it's clearly pointing the wrong direction.
If I cough it hurts -and it's hard not to cough with asthmatic bronchitis- if I laugh it hurts (so keep those jokes coming, they're prolly one of the few things keeping me sane these days), plus I still can't sit down and I hardly sleep. So how did I get myself to the doc's office? Yes, I drove myself, in excruciating pain, and praying that I didn't crash into something or someone, or that the police didn't stop me. I was practically driving laying down on my side.
So, tomorrow (hopefully) I'll be seen by a orthopedic surgeon, who’ll let me know if how soon I’ll be operated on. Because I’m telling you, there is NO OTHER WAY they’ll be fixing THAT.
OWIE you poor thing :( I can't beliive you drove like that!! I hope they can operate and get you back to 'Super Mom' soon!
oh my goodness, zee! i've been out of the loop for a while, but now i'm back and i see some beautiful sunsets and hear that you broke your butt. come on, i know it hurts to laugh, but that's what it is. i broke my coccyx back when i was in high school - drunken roller skating incident. it is NOT a fun thing to have to go through!
{{{HUGS}}}
ZEE! How did this happen, I mean, I know how it happened, but what the hell are you going to do? Drink lots of (drink of your choice) and relax, okay? I can't do anything from here, but...maybe send you a pillow? You know the doughnut ones?
omg, i feel your pain and your pain must be 50 times more than what i'm feeling.
ouchies!!!
they do say laughter is the best medicine.. *cough*
How un-fun! I do wish there was something we could do to relieve your pain to some degree.

i worked in orthopaedic departments for many years, and one thing i do know is that if you can avoid any sort of surgery that involves your back, then by all means, do so.
but, i guess i'm perplexed as to 'alternative therapies' - like holistic?
