I broke my tailbone/!!!

The coccyx (pronounced kok-siks) (Latin: os coccygis), commonly referred to as the tailbone, is the final segment of the human vertebral column. Comprising four fused vertebrae (the coccygeal vertebrae) below the sacrum, it is attached to the sacrum by a fibrocartilaginous joint, which permits limited movement between the sacrum and the coccyx. The term coccyx comes originally from the Greek language and means "cuckoo," referring to the shape of a cuckoo's beak.




I broke my tail bone (or scientificly coccyx)!!! It is absolutley horrible!!! I can't walk or really move or anything. And worst of all I can't dance!!! That means i can't be in the recital and maybe not Sleeping Beauty!!! I'm not supposed to do anything for at least 6 weeks maybe even longer. It really sucks. This is what happened... So I was sleeping over at Annette's house on Friday night with her and Courtney and we were having a ton of fun. We went to this carnival thing and went on this totally awesome ride (it looked babyish but it was AWESOME!!!). Anyways so far so good. Then we went to Annette's and made our bed. It was so cool. So she has an indoor pool but it doesn't have water in it. So we put matresses and beanbags down on the whole bottom, then we got every blanket and pillow in the house and put in in. So it was like 3 or 4 feet deap of blankets and stuff. It was so cool, we could like jump in and do tricks and flips and stuff (also some extreme pillow fighting). But... So her pool has a bench/step sort of thing thats metal and circles around the entire pool. We thought it was safe cause all the edges were covered (or so we thought!) and Annette grabbed my leg and I fell on the one open edge in the whole pool. I started crying but I thought it was just badly brusied. So I didn't really think about it. But then during the night i couldn't move. And the next morning when my mom came to pick me up for dance I couldn't walk or move and everytime i tried it hurt so bad I would just start crying. So she took me to the emergency room and they took x-rays and it was broke. Well it's all pushed forward and cracked and stuff. So very very very sad :(
