Re: [pyrnet] Accident caused tail to not work

I don't have a tail, but I might be able to relate?  I know this isn't 
quite what you're looking for....

On New Year's Eve, 2006, I was at a friend's house finishing my art 
portfolio for potential colleges.  I slipped on her stairs and landed on 
my bum.  No breaks or anything... but I was SO sore!  I only bruised it 
(my tailbone) but for months I had to sit down very carefully, and even 
a year after, I would feel a dull ache if the weather was going to get 
bad.  It wasn't anything serious, but it took a bit to figure out how to 
move around/sit down/stand up without aggravating the pain.

I don't know much about tail injuries, but maybe this is why she's not 
moving it and not sitting or lying down?  She may just have to figure 
out how to lie down without bumping it the wrong way.

Best of luck.  I know it's so hard when we accidentally hurt one of our 
Pyrs, and we can't explain to them that it was an accident... but it can 
happen to anyone.  Don't beat yourself up--your girl is very lucky to 
have you.
