Well I did a really silly thing.
Ok well it seems I do lots of them.
Couple weeks ago upon arriving home
from work, via the bike.
I parked in an area I don't normally
park in.
I had planned on riding the bike again later
that day and figured it would be just fine there.
Upon getting off the bike, one leg was already on
the ground.
As I swung my right leg over the seat, the left stuck
a bucket that was closer than I had thought it was. It was
1/2 full of water. It caused me to lose my balance and wham
I slammed to the hard ground which is covered in gravel.
I knew I had done something to my tailbone right away.
Luckily for me Genie stayed on her kickstand and did not
tumble over on top of me.
Right away as soon as I could get into the house, I iced it.
I have been to the chiropractor a couple times, had an hr massage
and have iced, heat and iced 3 to 4 times per day.
It is slowly getting better.
I haven't missed one min of work yet their have been some mins where
I thought I was going to have to come home early.
I made myself tough it out and rested on my brakes and lunch.
Again it is getting better and I am anxious to ride again.
The lesson I learned is make sure I am aware of my surroundings when
I am not only riding but parking as well.
I am also lucky in the fact that it is just bruised not broken.
Take care everyone..
