Car accident featuring: fractured coccyx while laying on a back board (I was literally sitting in the hospital moaning, "my ass! my ass!" because I was pretty out of it) and no pain meds for the first few days since I had liver lacerations.

Awww, poor bon bon's broken butt. You had a cracked ass, man.

Youch!

The sales tax here at 6.5% seemed like a deal after seeing 9.75% in upstate NY. We don't have any income tax in Florida, but my real estate taxes are a killer. Last year $7000. I think tax free is this week. I need to go school shopping quick.

My ass was grass, and that backboard was the lawnmower.

I just realized that reading about the worst physical traumas y'all have experienced right before I go try my hand at horseback riding again, not the best idea.

I hope I have nothing to report later past a wee bit of stiffness.

Car accident featuring: fractured coccyx while laying on a back board

I managed to fracture same while in labor with my second baby. That pretty much sucked. Not my worst pain ever, though. All my worst pain belongs to teeth issues.

Oh, that was my most painful experience ever. I was about to have TMJ surgery, so right before they knocked me out they had to put a tube through my nose into my lungs (in case my face swelled up so much that I'd otherwise be unable to breath). So the doctor took a long cotton swab that was dipped in liquid cocaine and shoved it up my nose.

It's very uncomfortable, isn't it? I did a bunch of studies with tubes and wires down my nose into my stomach, and even when they're very gentle with the Q-Tip it's no fun. This is why I found the undercover PETA video about Covance's treatment of lab monkeys more disturbing than some other people -- they just ram those tubes down their nose in one motion and the monkeys don't even blink.

It's so lovely that we're sharing stories of miserable pain. I forgot to mention the time I had dry socket, and the dentist packed it. It felt much better in about an hour, but at the time, I wanted to kill him.

Disabled actors: Jim Byrnes, who was on Wiseguy and Highlander.

The worst pain I had was nasal related. I had to have a tube pushed down my nose, the second worst pain was when the pulled it out.

testicular trauma

At the Sydney Olympics, one pole vaulter managed to land, crotch-first, onto his vaulting pole (not a euphemism), which had swayed at a leisurely pace under the bar while the vaulter gracefully sailed over the top. He was less graceful by the time he hit the mat.

I don't know what my worst pain ever is. But I bet that guy knows his.

I can't believe I've never seen video of this. It's an all time legendary crotch whack. Where's Bob Saget?!
