My aching back

I went sledding today in my man made sled hill. It is probably at least 10 feet tall now, maybe a little taller. There were two problems though that I discovered while sledding with the boys this afternoon. First of all it was really cold and when it gets cold as you may or may not know the snow gets incredibly hard. So it's a smooth pile with no way to climb up it, so I had to chop some steps in it just to climb up. The other problem is that there is a foot and half drop from the edge of the pile to the ground so you sort of fly through the air. After about the forty-third time going down the hill, my back was hurting a little from the drop. The next time though I hit the bump and thought I heard a crunch that was more than just snow. By the time by sled skidded to a stop I could hardly move my back and I could only lay there.

Keep in mind that it is -1 degree with a light wind blowing from the west. I didn't even feel it though. I just laid there thinking I was never going to get up. The dog helped though - she came over and tried to lick me in the face. Since I'm not a big fan of this I finally was able to get up.

So now it hurt to bend over and it hurts to sit back in a chair. I guess I must have broken my tail bone or at least bruised it badly. I was going to write something about bees or ordering seeds tonight, but all of that seems unimportant. I have to see if I have any ben gay like substance in my house. I don't know if that will help, but for some morbid reason they smell good for a little while. After a while it smells like a locker room and then like old people. I guess I need to be careful. I will probably check to see if I can find a chiropractor or something since I'm pretty sure they aren't going to put a cast on a broken coccyx.
