Status on broken butt….
If you have been following my tweets this last week, you know that I fell down the stairs on Monday night and really messed up my backside. It was bad enough I went to the doctor on Tuesday. What I managed to-do is slip walking down the stairs, meaning feet flying completely out from under me and going down directly on my butt. So my doctor listen to what I did, poked at me a little and said I probably bruised my sacrum, but it might be broke as well. The interesting thing is that the treatment is the same either way, unless I managed to break it and twist it around. In that case they need to go straight out the pieces.
So after spending the afternoon getting pictures taken, I found out that I have a bruised butt and it is going to hurt for 4 to 6 weeks. About all my doctor could do was prescribe some real pain meds so I could sleep and send me to get a donut to sit on. All of this basically sucks, because it is just starting to turn into summer here and I’m not a happy camper. I’ve been popping Advil like M&M’s, I gave up trying to sit down at work and turn my desk into a stand up one. Which makes me butt feel better, but after standing for eight hours, my feet are killing me.
Yep, I’ve turned into a whining and grumpy old man. I’m starting to really understand Dr. House character…..
