Proof positive…

So almost a year ago I hurt my bum – literally. My doctor is positive that I actually fractured my tail bone, though the XRAY at the time didn’t show anything (apparently I should have been sent for a bone scan, but I digress).

Anyway, for whatever reason, the injury has recently ‘flared up’ so to speak and so now, once again, I have a pain in my ass.

The funny thing is that for several years now, I have claimed to be an ice-cold bitch. Now I FINALLY have proof.

You see, when my tail bone healed itself last summer, it ‘grew back’ in a weird fashion.

If you actually touch it now, it feels like I have a bit of an actual tail – honestly. Thus, proof positive that I am a bitch – in the literal female dog with a tail sense of the word!

HA!

Anyway, the thing is that despite the satisfaction in having such evidence, I am still irritated.

My bum really does hurt!

This means that despite the fact that my neck and upper back are finally at a point in the rehabilitation path to withstand exercise, my bum and lower back aren’t.

So yet again, no running allowed.

The bigger issue is that I am really REALLY REALLY stressed out lately (for several reasons…some of which you can probably garner from my previous posts and others I cannot write about for fear of various forms of retribution).

I need the endorphin-induced relaxation buzz!

What is even more pathetic is that I can barely even walk at a decent pace right now. While my husband was running on the treadmill next to me, I was forced to reduce my walking pace speed to 2 miles an hour because anything greater hurt too much. (and for those of you who know me in real life, know that I normally walk VERY fast!!!!)

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
