Ode to the Coccyx

O, Dear Coccyx
The End of the Spine
The support of the Buttocks
You do Your Job,
Day in, Day Out,
Without any Need for Me
To remember You're
There.

But, I assure You,
Today I Remembered
You Are There.
Will you Please
Stop Hurting
Now?




Are you curious now? No, I haven't lost my mind. So, in my last post, when I slipped down some stairs, and my bum hurt?

I was very sore today, and unable to work from the soreness, so I called my boss, who insisted that I go to the hospital to be checked out. I, personally, though this was a stupid idea, as I was just sore from my fall, but it was not negotiable. So, I went to the hospital. Can you guess what they found?

Yup. I snapped off the last two inches of my tailbone. I get a butt-pillow, three days off work, and some freaking awesome painkillers, plus orders that I'm not to lift of 25 pounds for three weeks.

Yay, Me!! >>Stupid stupid stupid sheepish stupid<<
