as she had strawberry blond hair that was put up in a bun she had freckles all over her face the kind of freckles that only strawberry blonds can have she reminded me of my 10 year old niece or at least what she would look like in 10 years i m sorry i don t go to your church she yelled she had one leg between the doorjamb and the door and one hand clearly holding the door shut she occasionally tilted her head back toward the inside of the house there was lots of noise coming from inside she seemed tired and worn out this isn t about church it s about a neighborhood bbq i had hoped that my reply would keep her from shutting the door she only paused to make sure she heard the entire sentence then the door slammed shut i could still hear crying and talking coming through the nearby window trying to be heard over the tv don t you want free hamburgers and hot dogs who wouldn t while it may take a few more seconds to read this and a few more minutes this all happened in a few seconds i realized and made the connection that this was a struggling single mother with lots of kids this was someone who needed help she never opened the door again but i left a flyer at the door and hoped that she had heard about the free food thinking about this i walked pensively down the stairs and to the next building the bottom floor apartments were half basement i walked down the half a flight of stairs to get to the door i knocked no one answered i waited no one answered i left the flyer at the door and turned to go up the stairs there was a problem at the top of the stairs there were two obstacles on the right was a large dog i hadn t noticed its barking until i saw it i hadn t even heard it approach me it seemed like this dog was as skinny as a greyhound racing dog but as large as an elephant when it wasn t barking it was growling showing what looked like more teeth than you would find on any shark on the left was a giant bean bag or lovesac it was black and had an indentation in it as if someone had been sitting there and recently gotten up this was another instance much like the one above where a million thoughts seemed to go through my mind within only half a second how did these things get here so fast without me seeing them was someone moving why do dogs look like they are smiling when they growl was the dog sitting in the lovesac what should i do i had three options i could stay and wait for assistance and hope that the dog wouldn t be brave enough to approach me i could charge past the dog and get a scratch or two and later be chased by a dog who could run much faster than i could lastly i could attempt to leap over the giant black bean bag in hopes that it would buy me a few seconds to get ahead of the hound just as quickly as these thoughts ran through my mind i made my decision i would try to clear the bean bag and run as fast as i could toward the first safe place i saw i really didn t know what i was doing i charged up the stairs and made a giant leap i cleared the lovesac i said to myself triumphantly but i was wrong my right foot grazed the top and put me off balance i rotated and began falling my eyes were now looking back at the dog who didn t seem so threatening this time around i closed my eyes and hoped for the best i came crashing down and landed on my left side i could feel a pounding in my left calf where it hit the ground my left knee also hurt i had a small pain in my back as if i had scraped it on something during the fall what seemed like an eternity was only seconds i no longer heard the dog barking or growling and i slowly opened my eyes my heart was pounding and i thought it would leave my chest i couldn t see everything was black through the darkness i heard a familiar voice say in a very worried tone are you ok what happened a pink glow of light began to envelope me was i seeing light from the sunset no that wasn t it the light was very familiar again i heard the voice ask if i was ok i recognized the voice it was alison i looked in front of me to see my bed my dresser was at my back finally it struck me i fell out of my bed seriously who has such vivid dreams even more seriously what adult in his mid thirties falls out of bed in the middle of the night posted by ben mcmurry no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday june 19 2014 two weeks without a tailbone it s been two weeks since the procedure i ve had some good days and some bad days but overall things are getting better i generally don t feel any pain when i lay down on my stomach or side with or without pain medication i can sit for about 30 40 minutes after 15 minutes the pain starts and then it gets unbearable by about 40 minutes standing is about the same i can walk for a lot longer though yesterday someone asked me if it was worth it i don t know yet ask me again in september if i can ride my bike pain free then it was definitely worth it posted by ben mcmurry no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels coccygectomy coccyx cycling surgery sunday june 08 2014 life without a tailbone this isn t the best picture but it was easy to find on the internet due to trauma to my coccyx over the past year an orthopedic surgeon suggested that i have my tailbone removed the procedure is called a coccygectomy on thursday june 5 i had my coccyx removed before i continue with my story there are two important things that you should know first i can t sit down and type this entire blog post is being dictated using siri on my ipad second while i m not heavily medicated i am medicated so if some of the things i say sound strange you can blame it on that the injury a little bit over a year ago i went on a 44 mile bike ride the bike ride was great i went on the murdoch canal trail it was a beautiful day and my bike was pretty new i pushed myself hard because i thought i could ride my bike for ever i finally decided to turn around at mile 22 the following five or 6 miles were not too bad but i quickly became very tired i also started feeling pains all over my body including my hips my knees my elbows my hands and just about every other part of my body i barely made it home but i did make it home my body felt exhausted in fact it felt more exhausted and more traumatized than i thought it should have felt the next day most of the pains were gone but there were a few pains that still remained for example my tailbone hurt quite a bit i also had some pains in my upper back i went to my doctor and he suggested that i might have bruised my coccyx he prescribed muscle relaxants he said that these relaxants would help my tailbone fit back into the correct place and heal on its own sure enough my tailbone pain went away after about two months i hopped back on my bike and started riding to and from work once again during the fall semester by this time i had learned two important things first cushioned bicycle seats are not good you want most of your wait to be on your sit bones if you have a cushioned seat your sit bones will sink into the seat and the cushion will put pressure on your tailbone apparently this is a common cause of tailbone pain in cyclists second upon careful examination of my seat post and my seat i recognized that the connection between the seat and the seatpost was wrong it was slightly bent the right side was a few millimeters shorter than the left side i believe that this contributed to a repeated action that disturbed my coccyx and resulted in trauma i do not know if this broke or bruised my tailbone one thing that i do know is that it greatly weakened the strength of my coccyx now let s fast forward to january 2014 remember i had been riding my bike to and from work from september to december i had replaced both my seatpost and my saddle i really liked the new saddle that i bought it was hard and my sit bones took most of the weight one day during my commute i must ve hit a bump i remember feeling excruciating pain that lasted all day long while at work i figured i had just bruised my tailbone once again i continued to ride my bike and didn t make any changes to my lifestyle by march the pain was too much my doctor suggested that i get an x ray to find out if there were any fractures i postponed doing this as well i was afraid that the x rays would show a problem i was even more afraid at the x rays which show nothing i really wanted to be pain free i wanted to ride my bike to and from work i had the x rays made in april my tailbone had been dislocated the joint between two of the bones was completely gone an orthopedic surgeon said that i could live with the pain or have the tailbone surgically removed i figured that if i m going to live to be 137 years old i should try to make sure that the next 103 years are relatively pain free i decided to have the procedure done the surgery i quickly began reading everything i could find about coccygectomies the actual procedure is completed in 30 minutes it s an outpatient surgery but the recovery time is estimated to be three months to a year long i quickly realized that there were more horror stories of coccygectomies then there were upbeat positive reviews granted about 90 of all those people who had the procedure done were happy with the procedure and had good results from the surgery i was very confused by one thing though the surgeon who did the procedure really did not have that much to say to me about the procedure if i had only talked to him i would ve thought that this procedure was very simple and very successful i later learned that he simply is a good surgeon many of the complications and problems that others had would not be an issue with him he s a good surgeon he has a lot of experience doing surgeries on the spine and removing tailbones i had two major concerns going into the surgery first for some reason ivs make me sick i was so lucky to have such a nice nurse cherrelle talk to me about the iv and explained that there would not be a needle left in my arm instead it would just be the plastic catheter that was inserted into the vein she did such a good job and i did not feel any pain and my arm did not become irritated following the insertion of the iv second i really have a hard time waking up from anesthesia i was lucky to have such a good anesthesiologist i told him my concern and at first he seemed like he didn t listen to it or care about it or think that it was important later i found out that he gave me just enough anesthesia to do the procedure waking up was quite easy i was quickly able to walk around and do everything that i needed to following the procedure the doctors and nurses had told me that the next few weeks weeks would be filled with pain similar to the pain that i had with the broken tailbone i didn t really believe them it turns out that it is similar pain it wasn t until about a day later than i began to feel pain from the incision site i also started having pains in the muscles in my lower and upper back the recovery so far the recovery process has not been what i expected i really thought i would feel miserable for the first two days after the surgery and up to the first three weeks following the surgery to be fair i think i was comparing it to the sickness i got in march i was so sick for two weeks and was so miserable for the most part i feel happy i m really glad that i got the procedure done even though i still have the pain right now i know that in the long term i ll be pain free and able to ride my bike to and from work and for recreation there are a few things that i didn t expect first of all i thought i would be on pain medications for two or three days the doctor said that it might be 2 to 3 weeks now you have to remember that much of the information i received was from personal accounts on the internet even my doctor did not tell me very much before going into the procedure i imagined that i wouldn t be able to sit for the first few days and that i would have difficulty sitting and standing for prolonged periods of time for the next three weeks i did not anticipate difficulty in standing and walking during the first few days and weeks following the surgery i can stand up for about 10 minutes before i start having intense lower back pain note this is not pain from the incision site or where the tailbone used to be it s actual pain in my lower back i can walk for a little bit longer than i can stand but once again the pain comes in the form of lower back cramping i m always hesitant about taking opiates i know that they can be addictive and i also know that they can impair thinking and judgment i was very concerned about what medication the doctor would prescribe for me i did not like the way the medication made me feel the first time that i had opiates this was a few years ago when i had a kidney stone the medication was great for dealing with the pain but i did not like the way it made my head feel this time around the doctor gave me some opiates that don t seem as strong as the previous ones while i do feel a little bit more relaxed i don t feel like my thinking or judgment is impaired i also still have just a little bit of pain i think the medication just takes the edge off at first i tried to take as little medication as possible even though i could take it every four hours i tried to see if i could go 5 6 7 or eight hours without taking it that ended yesterday morning when i woke up at 6 am to take my antibiotic i was in severe pain to be honest i felt like i was having kidney stones in both sides of my back plus my incision point hurt as well since then i ve been trying to take the pain medication every four hours i m not going to wake up in the middle of the night to take it though so this morning i was in quite a bit of pain before i took the pain medicine today is the third day following the procedure i m really getting tired of laying in bed i wish i could sit for a little bit longer i wish i could walk a little longer i wish i could stand a little longer i don t have to teach until june 30 this is good news because i believe i will probably have to be in bed up until june 30 i will try to sit occasionally i ll try to stand occasionally and i hope to go for walks every day but i think that minima lysing the pressure on the incision site will help it heal quickly the conclusion i know this has been a relatively boring blog post but i m glad i could get it written down i think my personality and attitude make it difficult to evaluate how hard or easy the recovery process will be i m still optimistic and am a very happy person if you saw me you d see a smile on my face but i think that the road to recovery is going to be long and boring and painful i appreciate all the help and all the prayers that have been offered for me posted by ben mcmurry 8 comments email this
