Ouch!!!

Bad news SaF fans. My ass is broken, more accurately, my coccyx, or, tailbone. I had 1 or 2 drinks at a Halloween party and decided to stay over, just to be safe. I somehow managed to fall out of bed and land square on bone from about 3 feet up, yeah. 10 days later it's still impossible to sit on at certain angles. I tried doing some light squats, absolutely impossible. Did some very light goblet squats a few days later, same deal, not unbearable pain during, but lots of ache immediately afterward.

I tried some light benching yesterday, just to feel out potential exercises I can still do, that's also a no go, too much driving the ass into the bench. I talked to Pat, the amazing PT guy who trains at my gym who was a huge help when I hurt my wrist and he said for a fracture it will heal in 4-6 weeks, but there will still be some pain after that. Bummer. Could be worse though, I was doing some googling and people were saying 12-15 months (seriously?).

So for the first time in almost 2 years I'm looking at an extended period without resistance training, le gasp. I'm going to do as much cardio as possible though, which based on the past week looks good as far as not hurting the bone. It's going to be essential that I really tighten up on my diet now. The eating like a fat kid and maintaining thing was fine over the summer, that's because I was working out or running 5 days a week.

I'm going to try and develop some kind of workout routine that I can do without pain while I heal. I'm thinking pushups (ugh), pullups... that's about it, honestly :( I can't really do anything seated and I think most pull exercises where hamstrings/glutes are activated will kill me.

There you have it. Sucks, but what can you do. I just hope I don't balloon back up or lose too much strength, I've come so far but still have a long ways to go!
