Whine/vent (long) - feel free to ignore.

So, Monday morning I was coming down the stairs with Cal, and slipped on the last stair and busted my tail....Hard. Callen burst into tears, and H came flying from the kitchen and scooped him up to make sure he was ok first (thankfully, he was ok, just freaked out) then H helped pick me up off the floor, at which point I started sobbing (and I don't cry, ever) both from the pain and scared that I had maybe hurt Cal.
I've busted my tail before, but aside from the time I was thrown from a horse, I've never been in this much pain in my life. I can't do anything. Every single movement causes excruciating pain. And i haven't slept in two days because no position provides relief - at this point I'm pretty sure I fractured something, but won't know til I get X-rays on Friday. But still, aside from ice and ibuprofen (which have helped very little) there's nothing that can be done about it.
And to top it all off, it's period time so I'm also bleeding and cramping
profusely.
And today is our anniversary and I'm basically an invalid. H has been so great taking care of Cal and everything else, but I still feel irrationally guilty.
There's no point to this, I just needed to get it out.
Just shoot me with a tranquilizer dart.

  • Oh, no! This sounds terrible. Can you get medical help or XRay earlier then Friday? May be they can give you strong pain killers? I am so sorry for you. Hope you get better soon.

    I'm seeing a specialist Chiro, and Friday is the earliest my schedule, not theirs, will allow for X-rays. I've done the ice and heat rotation, but nothing helps significantly.

    And I'm allergic to narcotic pain killers.

    Thanks though

  • I think tramadol is non narcotic. It's a good pain killer, I hope you feel better soon.

  • Ouch!  I am so sorry to hear this happened to you.  That is such a tough injury to deal with and with a period on top of it...oh my.  Happy Anniversary to you guys!  Try to relax and heal as much as possible.  You are lucky to have a great H to help you out.  I am also glad that your LO was just a little shaken up, but not hurt.  Take care of yourself.

  • @andreab7412 Vicodin gives me nightmares, loopy, and doesn't kill the pain. Percocet makes me nauseous and pass out cold, and doesn't kill pain. Oxy makes me nauseous, vomit, and also doesn't kill pain.

    I was given some other strong non narcotic for my broken wrist after Vicodin didn't work, and I ended up googling it to see if it was a sugar pill cause it did absolutely nothing.

    My grandmother is the same way.

  • Oh no! I hope they give you something to help soon! Happy anniversary too!
  • *sigh* awesome.

    Well, needless to say, I've gotten pretty good at just grin/grimacing and bearing any kind of pain. And I really try to not complain, but this combo was just too much. :(

  • Oh Ind I'm sorry you are in pain. Once Mira's not contagious and sick I'd love to help you anyway that I can. I hope the chiropractor can help you feel better! I'm sorry your anniversary wasn't great but you've got an awesome DH so that's a good thing. Let me know if you need any help!
