Ouch I feel your pain - literally - I've broken my toe today and am in agony sad

Ouch! I'm sure you felt really shaken up, it's scary. Hope you're not too badly bruised.

Reminds me of the rude riposte if someone asks if you've got a match - answer 'yes your face and my.....'
Oh you've got it!

Ooh, I'm wincing on your behalf here. That must have been painful. (But forgive me for laughing out loud at your interchangeable face and bottom ???)

I do hope the bruising goes down and you feel better very soon xx

Ouch! I do hope the bruising goes soon.

On the subject of facial recognition on your phone, my mum always used to refer to one's derrière as one's 'Sunday Face' !

I bet that brought tears to your eyes GrandmasueUK.
Hope you've got over the shock and are okay.

shock

Hope you're feeling better GMSue - I had a very similar experience a few years ago. But your statement 'if I'd still got my coccyx " has intrigued me - where's it gone ? And, you DH query on 'facial recognition' made me laugh ?

Oh no. Hope your feeling better. I did this once a long time ago, fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my bottom. I couldn’t sit on a hard chair for 2 years.

Ouch, commiserations, Grandmasue. I hope your poor derriere recovers quickly. Even though it was 30 odd years ago, I still haven't forgotten bouncing up and onto my coccyx when my sledge flew over a big stone on a particularly spectacular hill descent. Oh, the pain!

Oh dear, hope you recover quickly! On the bright side, at least it was the last few steps and not slipping at the top of the stairs.

Feel better soon.

Hope you are ok? The shock is as bad as the bruising. At least it wasn’t in public! Only way to find out if people would notice the difference is to try it and see.

This morning I managed to slip down the last few stairs. Scraped my elbow and seemed to bounce on every step. I'm well padded but have bruised my derriere and if I'd still got my coccyx I think it would have broken. I asked my OH to take a photo of it (nods to Phoenix) with my phone. He wanted to know if the camera had facial recognition. Not too sure what he was insinuating there ... Does he think my face and my bottom are interchangeable? confused Perhaps I should change my profile picture on Facebook - would anyone notice the difference?
