puddingcatNo, really. Really. Stop laughing at the back :p
I slipped on the stairs. I have good cat-trained reactions, so I grabbed the bannister as I fell. Instead of going bump, bump, bump down to the bottom like Pooh, I went CRASH, once.
That was 10 days ago, and it still hurts to sit down, lie on my back or put any sort of pressure at all on my coccyx.
It's not the sort of bone you can put into plaster, either.
Arse.
Literally.
