Squeak.

Here's the irony.

I have spent the past two days at home because I put my back out on Sunday and have been barely mobile since. I wouldn't mind so much if I'd been doing anything strenuous, but I simply leant forward to clip the loose hatch on our gas meter back in place and *spang* something went in my lower back.

It's getting better, but I think I might have set it back this afternoon in a misguided effort to make it better. I lay on the bed with a hard cushion (actually a stuffed toy) in the small of my back to try and make sure that my spine didn't settle in the wrong position in relation to my pelvis. Then I dozed for an hour or so listening to the radio. Anyway, when I woke up and decided that visit to the smallest room was in order, it hurt like all hell when I put any weight on my left leg and I had to hobble slowly to the loo. Ah well. I was hoping, would you believe it, to go to work tomorrow. Maybe I shall be able to, I don't know.

The irony of course, is that for the past couple of days I've had plenty of time for updates on here unlike recently and nothing has happened to stir my writing buds.

Strangely enough, laying on my back on a flat surface really messes it up. Maybes I need a cushion?
I relate to the random nature of the spang; I did mine once just reaching for a toothbrush!
Stupid bodies.

Mine does this at regular intervals for no apparent reason at all, it´s as random as the blue spots I get from a walk to the kitchen and probably comes from sitting for too long in front of elctrical devices without thinking of changing position. Agree, that lying down flat will not help. For me, moving does: walking, actually, hanging onto something like our spiral staircase to make whatever went wrong snap back into position and sleeping in another bed is not too bad. Hope yours gets better, soon.

Admit it - you've been swinging from the chandeliers again, haven't you?

I hope you feel better soon.
