I cleaned the smaller covered area of the outside chicken coop
yesterday and was in the middle of moving the stump we leave there to
sit on so we can watch the birds and I slipped in the mud. I landed
hard against the stump with my backside and then landed on my butt and
my right arm. I sprained that wrist a while back and just bought a
brace; I never went and got it checked. It bugs me off and on. My
backside, however, is not happy. I have a sideways bruise about 8
inches long and it's probably 2-3 inches wide except in the middle,
where it's bigger.
I believe that I at least bruised my tailbone. It HURTS. If it hurts
this much to bruise it when I'm on narcotics, what would it have felt
like if I wasn't on them? My youngest daughter did hers a few years
back but the bruise she got was about 1/4 or less the size of mine.
Instead of sitting or lying around and fussing, though, knowing
already that position and activity level really usually doesn't affect
the fact that I'm going to hurt whether or not I like it, I did make
myself get up today and do some of the things I usually do. It makes
no sense to sit around and then get sore from not moving. That just
makes it worse.
