Fell on the sidewalk. Bleh.

December 4, 2024

Yesterday, I was on my way to school in my P.E. uniform, and my grey/purple glittery converse shoes.

Little did I know, the outsoles of my shoes are flatter than construction paper, and it rained in the early morning, making the ground slippery.

Suddenly, I slid down a ramp and fell on my TAILBONE. THAT'D ALREADY BEEN DISLOCATED (as mentioned in one of my previous blog posts). Somehow my legs were also scratched, and they hurt SO bad.

Once I got to class, I wrapped some gauze around the scratch, and put bandaids on the tiny scratches on my knee. My head started hurting for no reason too?? So I went down to the clinic and stayed there for a while. That isn't the first, and absolutely not the last time I'd be at the clinic.

I'm back!

Sorry for not posting 'ere... I was busy with both school AND trying to make my site look better. I've given up on the latter, so this'll be staying, I guess!

The story of how I dislocated my tailbone....

November 3, 2024

THIS ARTICLE / BLOG POST IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!

I dislocate my bones a lot, and I mean a LOT. ever since the fifth grade it's been a normal occurrence for me.

Usually, I'd dislocate my wrist, shoulder, or knee, and it'd just go back into place by itself after a few hours. This, though, was the final nail in the casket.

I'll tell you how it all started..

It was about last Tuesday, that morning I was at school, in P.E. class. Like usual, I was in my P.E. uniform, and all the chairs were moved to the corners of the classroom, since we didn't have a P.E. classroom.

The class was instructed to move into four single-file lines. I went to the back of a line where Mae was, because if I was going to suffer then I could at least suffer with a friend.

We weren't gonna do anything sportsy, just some exercises. Side lunges, squats, stuff like that.
...For 30 minutes with 1 minute breaks.

I thought it was fun at first, but ten minutes in and my backside suddenly hurts, and that's probably the most physical pain I've felt in my LIFE. And I'm talking to Mae like "MY BACKSIDE HURTS YOWCH." then I realise:
That's not my backside, it's my TAILBONE.

and it's been DISLOCATED.

But I carry on with the exercises, even though every squat the pain got WORSE. I completely forgot about it for the rest of the day, because I had school. I have better things to do than worrying about my tailbone after all!

Then when I get home, I usually study or use this site to practice my coding skillz. So, I sit down. All the time. Not only that, I sit using my tailbone.
So when I get up to use the bathroom, pet my cat, or get some water with ice- AAAAAAAGHHHH THE AGONY. MY TAILBONE!!!!

After sitting on my tailbone, feeling the absolute AGONY when I get up from my seat, and repeating the cycle for about a week, I had a plan.

I tried sitting on a donut cushion so everything but my tailbone was under pressure, nope, didn't work! My tailbone STILL hurt. So, I sat criss cross apple sauce, but with one leg up so I didn't rely on my tailbone to balance while sitting.

And imagine the RELIEF I felt when it didn't hurt to get up anymore, after sitting like that for a few days.
I was FREE! MY TAILBONE WAS FREE!!!!

it still hurt when i layed on my back to sleep yowchie. So I layed on my side or stomach. And everything was just about better! Wooo!!
