Pain in my butt


Literally. There is a reason I haven't been roller skating since my last elementary school birthday party. Because I'm no good. I get all nervous and arm flaily and fall on my butt. But not before I fall forward instead as if diving for some imaginary second base. And it's unfortunate, you know, because I'm not good as baseball either. Or softball, or anything involving a ball. So besides the pain back there, my hip bones that insist on being so prominant are both bruised. Right where pants sit on them. It hurts. And both knees have ugly brown bruises on them. Meaning that when my other pain keeps me from bending over to pick up something that I really need to pick up, gettting down on one knee isnt much better. I feel like I've been beat up and my arms are all sore from something as well.

So yes, I fell on my rear. Hard. Knocked the wind out of me. All because of this incessant idea that I should be more social. So much for that. Went to this institute activity. The only person I spoke to was Amelia until of course, when we left due to inability to move after that last fall. I'm trying to ignore the pain as we walk outside and these three guys ask where we are going. I informed him that we had a little injury. They stated that it looked like I was walking just fine. But I'm not feeling that fine. Well you're looking it. Normally I would think that slightly cute and be somewhat flattered even if they were just big flirts. But by that point I was just annoyed. Guys can make comments like that, but leave me to obviously struggle to get up off the floor of a skating rink all by my lonesome when I'm obviously having trouble moving and breathing. I'm pathetic.

I just must have hit my tailbone funny. Because it still hurts. Sleeping is the worst. It doesn't allow me to. Mom thinks I should get my bum x-rayed if it still is hurting this much in a week. Not that they can do anything, but then at least I'll know that I have a 6 month recovery in which I can't do the normal things that I do for general stress relief and happiness and energy like run. And I was just better and started running again and it was fabulous what with all the fall trees and leaves on the ground crunching under my feet. And I was planning on being a mad snowboarder this winter providing that I can still board after these some 4 years void of sbow boarding. So I'm just in a bad mood. More because of that then the fact that I haven't slept much in three days and I missed work because I couldn't move without significant pain, and no one to take care of me, and I have to sit in this chair and work all day with a sore bum as Mom put it while speaking to me on the phone at Grandpa's house whilst several extended family members were standing within earshot I'm sure. I think that part's funny. At least I have a fun embarrassing story to tell which, as we all know, are my favorite stories to tell about myself. I guess that 's the up side.

Now can someone please get that file out of the bottom drawer for me because heaven's knows that I can't.

If it makes you feel any better, my physical therapist confirmed that I have crunchy knees.

Is that kind of like crunchy snickers or reeses peanut butter cups? Do they taste good?

That picture reminds me how much I idolized those girls at the roller rink that were always dressed in the fancy clothes and had the fabric over the skates and went around doing their fancy tricks while the rest of us just skated in a circle. They were SO COOL.

the mental picture of your bum in a cast of some kind makes me giggle. I guess they can't really do that....but where did the expression "my butt in a sling" come from?
