It was the 8th grade and I was in a lot of pain. I am an avid snowboarder and with it comes injuries. In the 8th grade I got the worst injury I have ever had.
It was nighttime at Nubs Nob ski resort and my friends and I were in the terrain park. I am a pretty good snowboarder but that night I felt a little off my game.
I had fallen hard a couple times that night, but nothing bad enough to stop me. Then, the moment came. I was doing a spine transfer when it happened. Right before the lip of the jump I caught my edge. I knew right away it was going to end badly.
I flew through the air and landed square on my butt. Instant pain ran through me. I laid on the hill for at least a half an hour. When I finally got up I could barely walk. I sat in the main lodge for another hour waiting for my mom.
As soon as my mom picked me up I told her what happened. Shortly after getting home I decided that I had to go to the hospital. The worse decision of my life!
After getting into the E.R., I was taken back to a room. The doctor proceeded to talk while he was getting ready. At the last moment he told me what was about to happen. That was the first time I experienced a rectal exam, and the only time.
When I tell you this it is not a joke and it is not funny. I literally cried and was in ten times as much pain. Supposedly he was making sure my tail bone was still in one piece. And what really made me mad was I got X-Rays right after all of that.
I was given some pain killers for the night and that was it. I had to go to school with my fractured tail bone and I could barley walk without it hurting, let alone sit down for long periods of time. I carried a pillow with me for two weeks, but my tail bone hurt for at least a half a year.
I remember that because it was the worst injury and one of the worst pains I have felt.
