A Butt Smackin' Good Time.

Well, as I sit here waiting for my super mommy to finish my butt pillow I think I'll write on how I broke my butt.

But first I have to say Liza and I went shopping on Friday night, before the whole fanny fracturing fiasco. It was a blast. I bought a new leather purse for $9 on clearance, a cardigan for $8 and a blouse for $15! I love it. I think that the purse is my favorite out of all the stuff.

Ok, the break up.

Yesterday was beautiful, perfect to go snowboarding. It wasn't too windy but the snow was a little icy. There is a lack of snow also which is very sad.

(Sorry I had to stop the Percocet that I was taking was horrible but now I am so much better!)

We had about an hour left and I WAS enjoying myself as I headed down the hill. BUT I hit an icy spot and fell on my butt it was bad enough to bring tears to my eyes and to audibly say Ouch . . .I knew something was wrong as I got up and my butt hurt and I was HOPING that it was just bruised (like before) but as I sat on on the the high powered lift I knew that something was definitely wrong. . .Ouch again. This was my last run of the day and I was SO glad. The group was heading down to the lodge and then back down one of the lifts where one of the guys lost his glove off the lift. The trip back down to the lodge was the LONGEST and TOUGHEST trip I have ever taken (at least that is how I felt). The path is almost like alpine skiing but levels out in one spot. I TRIED to say on the high end of the path to keep going but it didn't happen.

I was probably up there in the flat area for a good 10-15 minutes trying to get out. I tried to "wiggle" (going from side to side on a board) and hop (a sort of "walking" whole still attached to the board so you don't have to skate). I refused to skate because that would have me sitting on my butt to reattach my board once I got to a down hill spot. So I managed to crawl across the trail to get to the higher part so that I could get down. I went a little way and then I ended up on the other edge of the trail again. So I crawled back across and then stood and fell on my butt AGAIN! I don't know how many times it happened but this was the last time. I had thought of just laying there on the trail until a ski patrol person came down again but I wasn't sure how long that was going to be and I didn't want to worry the class or our instructor. I said a prayer out loud. "Heavenly Father I have got to get off this mountain and I need your help." No sooner had I said that, then I got up and managed to start going down hill.

When I'm tired of boarding I get lazy and don't even switch the positions or anything I just go down the hill toe side first. I slid toe side first all the way down the hill until I met our instructor and one of the guys. The three of us went down to the lodge with and encouraging word from our instructor promising that we were almost there. When I finally made it to the lodge I decided not to go on the last run, but instead go home. I lounged in the snow for about 10 minutes until I decided that it was time to go. Then I got up and rode my board half way to my car (there is a path that you can ride its pretty cool and useful).

When I go to my car I was really slow in getting in and going, but I made it. I sat down and tears came to my eyes again and I began to cry. . .you know the hyperventilation crying that we all experienced as kids? That was me. As soon as I was off the mountain and had cell phone reception I called CC and asked her to buy me a butt doughnut (sadly it didn't do the job). I cried the rest of the way home. I know I made it I just don't know how. It is all a blur.

When I got home, I called CC and we did a 3 way call with mom who told me that I needed to go to the Insta-Care. By that time I was in agreeing. . .no more denial! It hurt so bad to get out of the car!!!!! I showered and made it to insta-care. . .CC drove. I checked in and waited for like 45 minutes. . .I think. Then I got in the back and was there for another 30-45 minutes I think. . .Ask CC cause pain makes things worse and I lose track of time. ( I do have to say that I wasn't happy that CC told mom, cause I was going to "take care of it and be a big girl" but instead I was a big baby. I was in the examroom FOREVER waiting for the doctor to come see me. Dr. C told me that it was the same treatment if I had bruised or broke my coccyx. . .(tail bone) and that if I had insurance I could get an xray. I told him that I wanted one and was covered by insurance so he sent his nurse to take me to the xray room.

The lady there was really nice (she was older, like she could have been my mom) but she asked me when I had my last period. . .which was in December. . .(I've been stressed and such. . .so to skip a month is normal for me). We had to find out of Dr. C would let me have them done or make me pee in a cup. . .(I had to wait 15 minutes to find out and I could have done it in that time). I told the lady that I wasn't sexually active. . .hmm. . .you wanna see my temple recommend? :D She believed me, but since people are dishonest & sue happy I had to take one. Ok. . .so once I peed and the xrays were taken I went back to re-dress myself and wait for the doc to show me my ugly flabby mid area in the form of a xray. . .so this might be TMI but you could see EVERYTHING like my flabby outline and hairy parts and such. . .kind of disturbing and EMBARRASSING since the viewing machine is in the HALL!!!!! There were 2 views one straight on (the embarrassing one) and then a side view. . .not so bad as the first. He showed me what looked like the end of my tailbone and then said "You would think that this is the end of your coccyx," (I thought I was out of the clear and free to go. . .but it wouldn't be so) "But you see this over here? this is really the end of your tailbone." OUCH!!!! Not only was it broken but it is"over here" "lodged"(not sure if it can move or will stay put) in my butt! (P, a co-worker is worried about it puncturing my uterus and maiming my child making abilities.) I think I know which side it is in because I hurt more on one side than the other. The doc gave me a prescription for percocet because lortab makes me loopy.

Percocet is ten times WORSE than lortab. . .I would rather be loopy than sweat and feel weird and sick and dizzy and out of it and such. So on Sunday I I discovered just HOW bad it was. I had taken it on Saturday but Sunday I was awake while taking it. Hence the reason why I had to stop writing when my mom was sewing my butt pillow (which is now basically flat).

Now I am on hypernicum (St. John's Wart) that is suppose to help quicken healing to nerve endings and also named especially for tail bone damage and Ibuprofen for pain.

So I guess that is it. . .Any question?
