I WANT SYMPATHY........

Thursday I tried to do the splits in the bathtub... Yeah I know I'm too damn OLD to do this, but it was an accident...
I had my foot propped up on the side of the tub and it slipped and slid across the tub. I didn't fall or anything - just stretched some muscles that haven't stretched in a while. But didn't think anything was damaged --- UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON!!!!
Caleb and I were in Town and I started to get in the truck and my leg wouldn't move and when it did Granny screamed in pain. Buddy was at my house and by the time we got home, I was crying and yelling to go to ER. Buddy was in shock -- Mom has CH- she doesn't scream in pain! He got me to ER (after he gave me a pain killer at the house - papaw has some left over). The doc in ER was real cool - he gave me a nice pain shot and some goodies to take home. Told me I had a pulled groin muscle and to go to bed and put an ice pack on it and not to do any heavy lifting (or much else for a couple of days - like I could taking those nice pills he gave me!).
Anyhow I'm on the inactive list for a couple of days. Got up this morning feeling a little better till I got out of bed and I still hurt - not as bad, but it still smarts -- got me some of those wonderful pills and am feeling better now. Think I'll get my ice pack and go back to bed.
This is the first time I've had any pain pills in a long time and I'm goofy as the devil... The house is a mess and I really don't care.
Anyhow I WANT SYMPATHY!!!!!!!  
Hugs BD

OWIEEEEE! Sorry you're hurting. I flinched just reading your description. Take it easy, and don't worry about the housework...it'll be there when you're feeling better. 
Get well soon

Sympathy you want, Babs? Sympathy you've got, by the bucket-load.
Just be thankful you're a girl so your only problems are menstrual, pulled muscles, child-birth, migraine and menapause.
Us blokes have to put up with CH, but you've my sympathy regardless. The splits? It must be awful!

Man your lucky you didn't rip anything......have seen alot of people do it when back in the horse raceing days.......it ruin'd a few guys and they had to have some sort of surgery. Nasty area to hurt........gotta give it some time to heal up so ya don't keep reinjuring it and have to deal with it more if not healed up properly. Rips and tears are the worst for that tho.

Gosh, these pills make you feel all warm and fuzzy -- at least till I move my leg - then it hurts like hell, so I'm just not moving much.
My son came over and went to McDonalds and got me some lunch. His inlaws even brought the grandson over to see Granny. Of course Papa "had this one time" and he "knew how bad it hurt!" I'm so doped up I didn't even get pissed (a first with that idiot!).
Son wants to build a house at our farm (actually he wants Mom to foot the bill for it) so we discussed where Mom's rooms are going to be in this "imaginary" house we're going to build. HE has decided he'll sell his house and we'll keep Mom's house in Shreveport and we'll build a house at the farm and all move up there. I don't have a problem with this except he hasn't told his wife about HIS plans yet. I love the farm and would love living up there (not too sure about living in a wing of the same house as them, but I'm neat and stay to myself so... if they'd leave me alone it might work). Guess that would give them a built in maid, cook and babysitter.
Not real sure if it's the good pills the doc gave me or if it's really a good idea, but I was going along with the kid while he was talking. When I get off the pills, it may be whole new ball game. Who knows -- today I'm mellow.....
Am I making any sense????
Hugs BD
For those of you who don't know me -- I NEVER take pain pills ....

From another Forum:
My night began as any other normal week night. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax; you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm, you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else), and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)
So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in, so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight, and pull. It works! OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker
of smooth skin extraordinaire. With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair-fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my vagina and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek. (Yes, it was a long strip.) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!! ......... I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Vision
returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP!!! Another deep breath and RRIIPP!! Everything is swirly and spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious....Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe....OK, back to normal.
I want to see my trophy -- a wax-covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip.... There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair.The hair that should be on the strip. I touch. I am touching wax. CRAP! I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake....Remember my foot is still propped up on the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down. DAMN!!!!!!!! I hear the slamming of a cell door.
Vagina? Sealed shut! Butt?? Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself, "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!"
What can I do to melt the wax? Hot water!! ! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits, and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right??? *WRONG!!!!!!!* I get in the tub -- the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment. I sit. Now,the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt
cold wax. So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cement-epoxied myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!! I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some
secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter: "So, my butt and who-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!" There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal, but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hole or who-ha?" She's laughing out loud by now....I can hear her. I give her the rundown, and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box. YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night.
While we go through various solutions, I resort to scraping the wax off with a razor. Nothing feels better then to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in
super-hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!! By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event. My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on, and OH MY GOD!!!!!!! The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend. It's sooo painful, but I really don't care. "IT WORKS!! It
works!!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend, and she hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair: THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now anyway.
Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.
Keep taking those pills and stay away from the wax kit!!!!

Anuther 'saveing private parts' bit of info.....ifya use that hair remover for bikini lines (ect ect) do NOT rub in it. I can't read the small print on stuff that well at all anymore and tried to hold the bottle up and read the directions late one nite. I'd also took an ambien cuz I needed to get sleepy and get to bed cuz I had a big day starting early. My bad.....I know. So I see sumthin on the bottle about rubbing......you have to leave it on a few minutes. It's different then the Nair stuff and acts faster. So......in my spare time I kinda rubbed it in so it would set in real good and work. Slap my face and call me stupid it said DON'T RUB IN......shit shit shit. The shit left patches like I had mange or sumthin and burned the skin around my legs and where ever. So what do I do......shave the patches. YEOUCH......shaveing raw skin is against nature. So I get anouther brite idea and use this other cream that stops rashes from applying hair remover. Was like rubbing bleach in an open wound. I had some nasty burns and looked like a babboons butt. With shorts on you could actually see some of the rash and horrible inflamation down my thigh. Wanna pet my monkey 'literally' Pam 
What a miserable weekend.....I walked like a bow legged cowboy for two days !!!!
