Ouch!

Well, I spent the first official day of my Easter holiday in doctors’ offices and waiting rooms.

I’m feeling a bit like the chocolate bunny.

Only rather than feeling pain in my ears, I’m feeling pain under my butt.

Last night I went round to my friend Kate’s house for dinner and board games.

 I brought roasted mushrooms and homemade Italian bread.

What I brought is irrelevant to the story.

Back to the pain in my butt.

Long story short, we played a game that involved coordination.

I have no coordination, and I slipped and fell into the splits.

I fell hard and fast from two feet to none.

Right away, I knew I’d hurt something. I heard a ripping sound and felt the rip just below my left butt cheek.

(I can’t believe I’m writing about my butt cheek.)

I put ice on it and took it easy the rest of the night but when I woke up this morning I could barely walk and was in excruciating pain when I bent over or sat with pressure on the left side.

Right away, I went to the doctor who then immediately referred me to an orthopedic specialist.

The orthopedic specialist thinks I may have ripped my tendon.

The plan for recovery?

10 days rest.

Rest in bed.

Walking and moving as little as possible.

Crap.

Well, here’s to hoping I recover more quickly! He said once the pain is away, I still need to rest for 3 days more.

There goes my Easter holiday.

Note to self, know your boundaries and don’t push them.

I promise to post more pictures from the tulip festival soon but need to get back to bed. I’ve sat long enough already.

Wish me well!
