Harley and I tried out the expensive inner tube on January 6th. Being the good Mom, I decided to take a spin first to test it out (luckily) from only halfway down the hill. The inner tube tore down the hill and I promptly smacked my tailbone hard on the first run at the bottom of our hill. It was quite a jolt. I send Harley down and he does the same thing. We quickly wise up and lift our asses before we hit the bottom for the rest of the hour while sledding.
I come inside after our outing and my tailbone is still quite sore. Lynn goes to walk and I go with him. Not the smartest thing to do with a sore tailbone. That evening and the entire next day, I'm gingerly getting around. Sitting is a problem and bending is an even bigger problem. I think what the hell did I do and who knew that your tailbone was so sensitive?
It was a long week and one that I never want to repeat. By Friday, I was still sore. I don't feel any smarter. I am still pissed that I cost myself nearly a full week of working out and a great deal of discomfort. By Friday afternoon, I was finally back to my walks around my neighborhood and working out again.
Lesson learned: Mind your tailbone and don't hit your ass sledding. How do I feel, just stupid. If your interested in one of these, here is a link. Sonic Snow Tube from L.L. Bean

For that big old grin, I think a sore bum is worth it. He's SO cute!
I bruised my tailbone once and it was completely awful! I hope you are feeling better
Harley looks thrilled...
Point taken. :-) After going sledding at Christmas, I was reminded just what a wimp I have become!
I am so glad that you just bruised your tail bone. I am pretty sure I chipped mine or something last winter. The last run down the hill, I landed on an ice patch and could barley get up. It still hurt to lay down and sit two weeks later when my foot slipped on the stairs to the basement and I bumped my bum down at least 5 stairs before I got a good enough grip on the railing. It took me about 3 months to be able to properly walk.
Thanks for all the comments.
Harley was so happy because we were done. He was tired, cold, and anxious to go warm up.
I bruised my tailbone good and I'm close to 100%. I NEVER want to do that again.
I like how you give us a sales pitch for LL Bean in case we want to injure our own tailbones.
Hope the pains are completely gone. Ouch!
