It hurts getting old

[cmayna]

I've been aggressively working on Mr. Truck and yesterday I was pulling the truck to it's resting spot for the night by grabbing the front bumper and pulling backwards. As I was walking backwards, I stepped onto some cardboard that I was using as a oil drip catcher. With all the torque I was sending down to my feet, the cardboard went flying in front of me and I went crashing downward onto my butt (tail) bone. First time I've ever done this and shiiaattt! it hurts big time. Very sore.

Watch out old man.
I had a mate come off a motocross bike when we were teenagers and he fractured his coccyx.

It still gives him grief 35 years later.

Ouch! Literally a PIA.

Pushing is always easier than pulling.

Broke mine about 10 years ago. I'd rather have my fingers crushed in a vise.

I feel for ya Craig. I bruised my tail pretty good about 7 years ago in a motorcycle accident. It was tiring to stand and too sore to sit!

Been there done that. Fell off a 16 ft ladder when my hole hog monster drill grabbed a knot in a joist. I walked funny for a while after that.

I feel your pain Craig.
Do go to the hospital and let make some X-rays from your but(A$$) . Hope you gonna have some nice sisters overthere to help you on the table. :roll
Standing up and sitting in a chair is gonna be hard for quite some time , but I hope its not that sevire as you told us.
BTW that has nothing to do with getting old but more of being a st...............fill in for yourself.
Keep us posted how it went n the hospital. :beer

I was hurting big time yesterday but started feeling a little better last night and this morning. Maybe it's just the high quality drugs.

Hope you are okay and feeling better. Surgery down there really does suck. I had a disc removed in '93 and still don't like to stand too long or sit too long. Now if you hurt your neck, I can tell you all about the neck surgery from recent experience :roll

I'm feeling a million % better today.
