So i have a quite expensive mixer over the bather shower that for some reason decided to play up today, it was either freezing or scolding hot. after enduring this for a minimum time, (i was just clean), i went to get out of the shower, my right right leg slipped forwards on the Floor and my left leg slipped backwards in the bath, i hit my tail bone on the side of the bath
and landed in a heap, now i can't stop shaking. i think i may have damaged my assets too.

sit on a pillow

l2 balance (when you're on a slippery surface, your body shouldn't be any more than 5-8 degrees off of a right angle relative to the ground)
 


My wife did that once (well minus the assets part ;)) and nailed her face on the toilet tank producing a nice black eye.

I got some pretty mean looks from people when we were out together...

I would have played it up for the lulz.

Poor Wolly :frown: It's probably best to get yourself checked out to make sure you didn't break anything.

I agree with ~christina~. Get your assets checked, Woolie, there's no replacing assets, take care of them!

And please get a slip-resistant rug.
 


Wolram, do you have anyone to take you to the ER? Your description doesn't sound good.

I think all i need is sympathy, especially from the sisters, i am quite resilient to hard knocks.

Just reading hurts

You should be sitting not on a pillow, but in the snow.

Edit: I see LisaB beat me.

Ouch, the pain is back worse than ever, i think i will go to ER tomorrow.

Maybe you shouldn't wait Wooly Ram.

Ouch! I think Ivan said Tsu broke her tailbone once. Sounded very unpleasant. Hope you are getting checked out soon.

Feel better, and be sure to give us an update!

Okay, a broken or even cracked or bruised coccyx is wildly painful. Go, Wooly and get it checked ASAP. There's nothing they can do for you save give you really nice painkillers. You get to sleep on your tummy for a week and, when you can sit up, you need an inflatable "donut" pillow to sit on.

Hugely no fun, but get it checked.

Wolly? Any news? BETTER ones?

Thank you for all the well wishes, today i can sit down with just a little discomfort, so i think i have been lucky and not broken any thing.

Glad to hear that :smile:

Still, take care.

I fell once and hit the tiled bathroom floor, I had the imprint of the tiles on my bottom for a couple of weeks. :blushing:

Playboy would have paid big for the pics.
Woolie, you say that you feel a bit better, but did you actually go to a doctor to find out what's happening? Your ***-bone is still part of your spine, and therefore can cause all sorts of grief that aren't even necessarily restricted to that site.

I feel fine now, i think the shock scared me more than any thing. I will be more careful when i have a shower in the future though :smile:

That cannot be true :bugeye: ..

It doesn't matter how hard I sit on floor I wouldn't get any imprint unless I am sitting on wet paint.

Yes, the bruises followed the pattern of the tiles. All I know is that's what happened, I swear.

Knowing you Evo, I would say that you fell down on the same spot every day for a couple of weeks.

No, I only break my arm in the same place 3 times in a row.

Maybe you have a boney *** like me. Evo's is... :rolleyes: ...different...

After all, she's never denied that she's easily impressionable...
