and i can fully sympathize....i once smashed my tailbone so bad i was on crutches for months....it was back in my college days when i was playing soccer.....the goalie was steeling my thunder real bad and he was personally pissed off at me because being a weirdo his roomate decided to ditch him and we ended up sharing a dorm room at Paul Smiths forestry college in upper state new york...i finally knocked him and the Ball thru the goal but ended up doing several flips forward thru the air and ended up smashing so hard i saw stars swirling around....so i was glad i did not repeat the experience.
i landed on the oak log i foolishly stepped on and just missed my tailbone by an inch.
i'm not in need of an inflatable donut pillow...but close enough....and like you say... i lucked out bigtime.... it always happens in the BLINK of an eye...
and yes tynan19 i have presently just finished a theraputic hot bath and now drinking real strong McEwan's Scottish ale

(man do they pack a punch)
to relieve myself of pain....... sitting next to a cozy fire in my lazyboy recliner..... for today...
i found a remedy for most bone problems outfished but its extremely hot stuff made from the bones of the EMU bird from Austrailia....[[EMU OIL]] and makes bengay seem very mild.....you have to ice the area right after applying it...or catch on fire....
later on though it works wonders....but i doubt i'll risk using it on my butt for obvious reasons.....
