I'll warn you now, don't ever try sledding or toboggan after this. You'll always get reinjured no matter how many years you have between this and the sledding.
Lol I injured myself sledding with my kids so this is very accurate
Edit: for everyone asking if I'm okay, thanks very much, I'm doing okay now :)
For everyone attacking me in the comments, thanks for boosting my engagement :)
I don't think I could cry just from remembering some physical trauma from my past. That's when I need to rely on good old emotional or psychological trauma.
Careful. I had a small pebble sized rock blow right through the saucer sled I was on, and my jeans.. and my skin. Put a pea sized hold in my kneecap that I could see the knee cap through. I had to butterfly it shut and keep my knee from bending for 2 weeks, plus broad spectrum antibiotics because the bone was exposed.
As a kid we used to "sled" on whatever we had that was slippery, including lots of plastic bags (sometimes filled with snow or other stuff, but they didn't last) and cardboard. Never had any problems, but it was painful to butt-land after various hops; didn't stop us at all. After we ran out of these materials, we'd try to ski down - with no skis, often leading to bad landings. We also improvised skis out of anything resembling the shape, even very short ones.
From my personal experience these seat cushions with gaps called a coccyx cut-out make it easier to sit in chairs now. I have one in my car and one on my work chair and they really help. Oh and my injury is over 30 years old. I also double up those u-shaped neck pillows and sit on them on long flights cause no one looks sideways at me carrying them instead of a huge seat cushion just for my tuchus.
I wish you the best healing up! Seriously though - stop copying my injuries - first the ankle and plantar fasciitis now this - trust me you don't wanna copy my broken dumbass!
Broken coccyx(es?) suck hard. It took over 4years for mine to not hurt every time I sat longer than 30min in the same position. At least I have a fun story to tell how I broke it in the Colosseum in Rome. And the 24hr bus ride home.
Gah! No story is worth a 24 hour ride on a broken booty! But really, Rome is way cooler than my story of slipping on a puddle! I recall kneeling in the front foot well of my mom's car so I could lean on the seat without putting pressure on my butts as she drove me to the Dr.
I still wince every time I see people fall hard in shows and movies.
tailbone is just not a good place to take an impact, and most of the time the hills are pretty bumpy. I had gone more than ten years from the original injury, and that hill destroyed me.
Also, there's nothing you can do besides verify the extent of the injury, and just suffer through the pain when sitting, standing and laying down.
one of the "popular" places to sled in my town could end you up either crossing a main road, and into a creek, OR if you went left into an intersection.
Another location is smack between thruway onramps, and off a main road.
i swear the cold makes us stir crazy.
My wife is super clumsy. When we went into the ER for the third time in two months, they pulled me aside to do paperwork while they took her to the X-ray.
They asked her if I was abusing her. My wife just about laughed and asked why they asked. But apparently it's standard procedure. My wife told me when she came back from getting her X-ray.
On the one hand, I'm glad they asked. On the other hand, it was sad that they have to ask.
Same for me during every stage of my wife's pregnancy. They found reasons at each appointment to make time where she could be alone with a technician or doctor. They literally told her it's their policy to make sure every woman gets an opportunity to say things without her partner present every visit.
A part of me was like, wait a second what danger vibes am I giving off. But 97% of me was like, oh no if my moment of weird discomfort means even one woman escapes a dangerous situation it was 100x worth it.
Its standard procedure. We also ask if home is just in general--safe, and really mental health questions that most people aren't comfortable talking about in front of others.
Same! I had a run of ER visits for really dumb stuff. They asked me if I was safe at home. Turns out, most of the early stuff was due to living alone and having crappy self care and the later stuff was just being clumsy. But I'm glad they asked.
Incidentally, living alone with depression during a covid lockdown is a bad idea. I just treated myself like utter shit. I now have a roommate and several pet rats and it really stops me from spiraling as much.
I heard depression went through the roof for people who were right on the edge of it.
Glad you're taking care of yourself now and doing better! Remember to eat well, take care of yourself, and take care of your pets!
They asked me the same thing but **in front** of my mother. She was so furious. I fell and injured my wrist, had some bruises on my neck from a punch at a hardcore punk show (was a friend no biggie.) I think she's still not over it and it's been 20 years.
A new resident asked me if I was being abused while my fiancé sat 6 inches away listening. Luckily we could laugh and tell her absolutely not, but taught her to be a little more careful that she never asks that in front of the person who could be the abuser
No one is ever pushed. They simply *fall, run into things, or bruise easily.*
On a lighter note I do think this comic is just about trying to have fun and instead busting your butt. Lol
True story: I fell down the stairs once (well more like slipped but anyway) and went in for a routine checkup a week later when the bruise on my thigh was MASSIVE. The doctor kept asking me questions about who I live with and how things are going, and I didn’t get it until she closed the door to the room and asked point blank if I was safe. I immediately went “oh no! I’m totally safe, I just fell down the stairs!….Wait, I realize that sounds bad, but I ACTUALLY fell down the stairs, on my own.” It was a terribly awkward conversation.
Similar thing happened to my mother. She was always pretty clumsy and would trip on her own feet. One time she tripped in the driveway and slammed her shoulder on the car and was rushed to the hospital.
They had to do surgery on her and she was put on a waitlist, but in the meantime her shoulder would dislocate very easily and she made several trips to the hospital because of it.
The nurses would approach her and try to comfort her and encourage her to say if she was in danger at home, and my mother... classy as she is, apparently told them "I *wish* he was beating me up, it would be way less embarrassing than having to say my shoulder popped out while putting on a jacket!".
A similar experience happened to me when my German Shepherd head butt me in the nose. I thought he broke it; doctors thought I was a victim of domestic violence. I had to answer *so* many questions.
Good news- my nose wasn't broken :)
When I was a kid I was so clumsy and reckless that I had multiple discussions at hospitals with social services as they tried to establish if my parents were injuring me. No, I was just a fucking moron.
LPT for people who need frequent scans - some hospitals "own" their scanning machinery, others rent it from another institution, even though the machine is "in house".
Depending on your insurance plan, your scans may be covered if taken on machinery owned within your network, and not covered if taken on machinery that is rented. Always ask - you may just save hundreds of dollars.
I know someone who was charged an outrageous amount for getting a scan out-of-network...by being sent to the building in the same office complex for an x-ray.

At least I got a cool new pillow!
NO! Bad Xibran! Don't do that again!
You can't just go around posting shit like that and give me an "ah fuck I'm so old" crisis in the middle of the day. You're gonna give me a heart attack, figuratively and literally.
Seriously though it's so fucking weird. I don't ***feel*** old. I mean, my body cracks and pops more than it used to. But in my head, I'm still early to mid-20s.
Fucking confusing as shit sometimes. I don't feel my age. I've heard people in their 60s and 70s say the same thing. Wonder when our "mind" finally cataches up? Our 80s? 90s? Or do we die still feeling young?
This tends to occur more when there’s neurodevelopmental delay, especially when neurodivergent.
Am over 30 but still feel early 20s.
Trauma and adhd has done a wallop on my brain.
Have you had a bone density scan? Bone density can be a big issue and not all doctors will thoroughly check your bone density when you're still young, even if you are getting fractures. "Clumsiness" can be a sign that your bone density isn't what it should be.
This message was brought to you by My Mom Developing Osteoporosis Early.
Whereas I've never broken any bone ever and I've always been told I weigh more than I look, so I've always wondered if my bone density is notably higher than average for a man of my age 🤔
I'm aware, I've just always wondered out of curiosity where I sit on the percentiles of bone density. But I'm also doubtful my doctor will do a bone density scan on an otherwise healthy 36 year old man just to satiate my curiosity.
While true, they can still have bone density issues, especially if they're not getting enough calcium in their diet. Just because someone is less likely to have a medical issue does not mean they should ignore the signs of said medical issue.
I feel like a lot of game authors don't know how to make 180 games, actually. They are too used to linear vision. Even Alyx doesn't require you to look around way more than normal.
And also it's extremely hard to clean up enough space to actually have like a 5x5 meters square to have enough space to freely wave the hands around. VR needs its own, completely empty room. Best setup I used was in a time cafe, they had huge circles for each player and had like 5 helmets. Arizona Sunshine is probably the only game I played where you had to actively watch your six and defend from enemies on all angles.
Another one was I think called Anxio and this is a wearable PC setup with a backpack and trackers and they rent out a fucking empty warehouse which they overlay with graphics, Ready Player One style basically. It's expensive, it requires really careful mapping - you don't want to run face first into a wall - and a warehouse to play.
I also tried the Quest in a park. It was probably the best way to play, especially since the Quest also has these outbound cameras that would turn up as soon as someone would be dangerously close to me, and "danger" is like 2-meter away.
Do whatever the doctor says and do it exactly. You want this one to heal properly. Otherwise in 30 years you'll be making comics about your arthritass.
Injured my tailbone as a teenager in middle school. Had to sit on a tyre tube for months. Had to carry it everywhere. To say that I was bullied for it is an understatement. One asshole even punctured it with a pen and the authorities did jack shit. Good times
This is givin me PTSD lmao. Shattered my tailbone goin down a wavy slide and catchin some air on it as a young adult. Never figured out a comfortable way to sit on the donut while it was healin. Even now the tailbone is pretty sensitive 15 years later. Wish you luck in the healin process!! :]
Having an xray for a bone fracture feels like getting a mugshot. Especially how they have you stand against the wall. The doctors had to figure out if it was sling or surgery somehow.
Unfortunately, it's something you get used to after a while.
I'm waiting on my 7th major spinal surgery in under 3 years. I can't get any of the MRI techs with my favorite joke anymore. :(
>!What kind of music do you want? !<
>!You're not supposed to have heavy metal in an MRI machine, c'mon.!<
I had an ultrasound to check my gallbladder last year. In a stroke of what I thought was genius, but was actually morphine-induced unearned confidence, I asked "is it a boy or a girl?"
The tech's face man. It was the look of a cashier hearing "oh it's not scanning that means it's free, right?" for the millionth time.
Not quite an adult yet but already beginning to feel that way. The first thing I asked my dad after coming to from blacking out was if insurance would cover this lol.
You aren't alone... Here are some sentences I've heard over the last few years from medical professionals:
"Have you broke this ankle before? I can see it on the X-ray!"
"I have genuinely never had a patient injured in this way before and I'm honestly not sure how to proceed"
"I'm going to assume you already have crutches"
"Well nothing burst, but I still don't really understand how you fell on your ovary"
>"Well nothing burst, but I still don't really understand how you fell on your ovary"
"Well I was all up in there looking for my keys, and just took a wrong turn!"
Yea I don’t get it, none of these comics are original, inspired or entertaining in the least, but here we are at 13k upvoted
I assume it’s some kind of inside joke I just don’t get
> I assume it’s some kind of inside joke I just don’t get
Nope, no inside joke
It's just that this artist is a Reddit Favorite^(TM), so every single thing they post just automatically gets upvoted by thousands of mindless redditors.
Wow... so funny. My sides are literally splitting from laughter right now. I mean, she hurt her ankle and then her tailbone? This is truly some next level comedy right here.
What is this shit? Every single time I see this uninspired bullshit-ass half-cocked nonsense it’s absolutely nothing. There is no joke here. There is no subtext. There is no comedy. This is just a series of vignettes showing things that wouldn’t be interesting if they happened to me. I wouldn’t find this engaging if I witnessed it occurring from across the room, and yet this artist has decided it deserved to be committed to MS Paint so that we could all witness their mundane life in perpetuity.
I mean, seriously, is this an NFT-type scam or something? Are they using their Patreon to launder money, and driving upvotes here in order to create the illusion that they could realistically be receiving that much? I just cannot fathom that something so “haha relatable” without the “haha” bit could be generating THOUSANDS of positive interactions.
One time, before the glories of WFH, an older woman in the office came up to me in the break room on a rainy day. She said "boy, it's really raining out there!" I responded with, "yep, it sure is wet!", and she laughed really hard. Like, very very hard.
That's the type of people who enjoy this comic.

I'll warn you now, don't ever try sledding or toboggan after this. You'll always get reinjured no matter how many years you have between this and the sledding.
Lol I injured myself sledding with my kids so this is very accurate Edit: for everyone asking if I'm okay, thanks very much, I'm doing okay now :) For everyone attacking me in the comments, thanks for boosting my engagement :)
This is why I always ride the sled on my knees now.
I found out the hard way. and that sledding hill was pure ice. A washbord, but all ice. I get phantom pain when i think about it.
That could be useful. If you ever REALLLY need to hold in a shit think about that moment and you will clench Ur ass BC of the pain.

Wear body amor when sledding, got it ✍️✍️✍️
Wear body armor when life feels appropriate.
For external use only, please consult your physician.
As a kid, I hated sledding. I always had a deep "if i do this, i will die" fear. Adult me feels vindication
You guys are starting to make me think it's more dangerous than snowboarding lol
As a kid we used to "sled" on whatever we had that was slippery, including lots of plastic bags (sometimes filled with snow or other stuff, but they didn't last) and cardboard. Never had any problems, but it was painful to butt-land after various hops; didn't stop us at all. After we ran out of these materials, we'd try to ski down - with no skis, often leading to bad landings. We also improvised skis out of anything resembling the shape, even very short ones.
That is why going face first is the safest way.
I belly ride it on a trash can lid
This is good. This way if you crash you just die.

You can't get fooled again
Can I be both worried for you while boosting your engagement (in a positive way I mean)

Wait, why is that?

Facts, I went sledding once and got hit by a truck. Never again.

Well yeez, no need to be butt-hurt about it! He's just trying to be nice. XD
The joke was very asinine, I’m honestly astronomically appalled by how poor taste it was in.

No one is ever pushed. They simply *fall, run into things, or bruise easily.* On a lighter note I do think this comic is just about trying to have fun and instead busting your butt. Lol
I think it was tongue punched the butt(hole)

Take care to find a way to take more stress off. I am not a doctor but mine hurt for years. Could barely fly on a plane without pain…
Injured my tailbone as a teenager in middle school. Had to sit on a tyre tube for months. Had to carry it everywhere. To say that I was bullied for it is an understatement. One asshole even punctured it with a pen and the authorities did jack shit. Good times
Please be gentle with yourself while you recover and I hope you get better soon! I hope your kids also understand to be gentle with you for a bit lol.
This is givin me PTSD lmao. Shattered my tailbone goin down a wavy slide and catchin some air on it as a young adult. Never figured out a comfortable way to sit on the donut while it was healin. Even now the tailbone is pretty sensitive 15 years later. Wish you luck in the healin process!! :]
Having an xray for a bone fracture feels like getting a mugshot. Especially how they have you stand against the wall. The doctors had to figure out if it was sling or surgery somehow.
Any time you hurt yourself so bad as an adult that you need to get other adults involved feels so humiliating.

I had an ultrasound to check my gallbladder last year. In a stroke of what I thought was genius, but was actually morphine-induced unearned confidence, I asked "is it a boy or a girl?" The tech's face man. It was the look of a cashier hearing "oh it's not scanning that means it's free, right?" for the millionth time.
Congratulations, it's ruptured!
Head banging to sick beats during the MRI is frowned upon.
Not quite an adult yet but already beginning to feel that way. The first thing I asked my dad after coming to from blacking out was if insurance would cover this lol.
If nobody ask you to pose for a photo, you're good. That means noone setting up a GoFundMe, and THAT mean insurance will cover it.
We did warn you that hanging out with u/Holleringelk was going to have consequences.
You aren't alone... Here are some sentences I've heard over the last few years from medical professionals: "Have you broke this ankle before? I can see it on the X-ray!" "I have genuinely never had a patient injured in this way before and I'm honestly not sure how to proceed" "I'm going to assume you already have crutches" "Well nothing burst, but I still don't really understand how you fell on your ovary"
>"Well nothing burst, but I still don't really understand how you fell on your ovary" "Well I was all up in there looking for my keys, and just took a wrong turn!"
My doctor often greets with me with "Kick any bricks lately?" No =( Only the one time, ma'am.

Patient: ‘Please just scan my butt bone’ Doctor: ‘Nurse: wheel in the photocopier’ 😂
The real joke is in the comments.
I look forward to your comics while hopped up on painkillers. This is going to be a wild ride!
Buckle up, kids!
We all know how you feel about children.
Nutritious.
They really don't give strong painkillers anymore because of the opioid epidemic. I fractured my elbow last week and was given Aleve.
I think it's possible that...you know what, never mind.
They're asking the questions to see if there's some root cause, like a balance problem or an abusive partner.
Yeah, I read those questions as an abusive-partner screening.
Guarantee you asking more questions to patients with broken bones has saved many victims of abuse
Your radical devil-may-care lifestyle is catching up to you.
I don’t get it

Lol before it gets deleted, this is a copypasta from one of my other comics
Okay but really i think I'm missing the joke
No offence but it's no coincidence that this post seems to be fresh for every of your comics' threads.
thats a shame because the copypasta is more humorous than the post
The best copy pasta. Because it's fucking true.
Agreed
If this exact comic was posted by some other artist here, it would get like 9 upvotes
This but unironically
Yea I don’t get it, none of these comics are original, inspired or entertaining in the least, but here we are at 13k upvoted I assume it’s some kind of inside joke I just don’t get
> I assume it’s some kind of inside joke I just don’t get Nope, no inside joke It's just that this artist is a Reddit Favorite^(TM), so every single thing they post just automatically gets upvoted by thousands of mindless redditors.
A lot of people who don't speak English as a first language can't tell how bad this stuff is.
Yes. What the duck I’m missing here?

Thanks. I scrolled to much to find the copypasta.
Is this a copypasta?
What’s the joke?
She says "butt bone". Laugh now
She said butt bone hahaahahahahahah so funey
Are you being abused by an Elk we will not name?
Don't lie to radiologists, they can see through you

Sitting on benches or any hard surfaces will now and forever be a pain in the butt. I know from my canoe trip from 11 or so years ago.

Forwarded this to my sister, who actually had these two things happen to her. She's still sitting on her own tush-cush
Is there supposed to be a joke here?
Was hoping someone would explain it in the comments cause it doesn't make any sense

Wow... so funny. My sides are literally splitting from laughter right now. I mean, she hurt her ankle and then her tailbone? This is truly some next level comedy right here.
I don’t get it
arent comics usually supposed to have some point to them? i dont see any joke or statement
What?

Why is this funny?
Thank you. I am also confused here, or I'm missing something.

It makes you feel good about yourself because you're not braindead enough to actually like it.
Just say that you have a motorcycle and no one will ask you questions ever again. But now I absolutely have to know how do you break your butt bone
In my case, bmx + home made ramp + slipping off pedals.
What is this shit? Every single time I see this uninspired bullshit-ass half-cocked nonsense it’s absolutely nothing. There is no joke here. There is no subtext. There is no comedy. This is just a series of vignettes showing things that wouldn’t be interesting if they happened to me. I wouldn’t find this engaging if I witnessed it occurring from across the room, and yet this artist has decided it deserved to be committed to MS Paint so that we could all witness their mundane life in perpetuity. I mean, seriously, is this an NFT-type scam or something? Are they using their Patreon to launder money, and driving upvotes here in order to create the illusion that they could realistically be receiving that much? I just cannot fathom that something so “haha relatable” without the “haha” bit could be generating THOUSANDS of positive interactions.

One time, before the glories of WFH, an older woman in the office came up to me in the break room on a rainy day. She said "boy, it's really raining out there!" I responded with, "yep, it sure is wet!", and she laughed really hard. Like, very very hard. That's the type of people who enjoy this comic.
I got the same results with BadDragons!
