Oh, me aching back....

So much for Ibuprofen.

Despite dosing myself up at a higher level than recommended (there's always a healthy safety margin on these recommended doses), the ache in the small of my back continues to gnaw at my consciousness.

I should dearly love to be able to replace my backbone with something less painful. An injection of mercury, perhaps.

This would have the benefit of being strong and flexible, if a little heavy.

Of course there would be major drawbacks. During the heat of Summer I would most likely be eight feet tall, but around mid-Winter I would live in fear of cats as I skulked around in the shadows like something from Land of the Giants.

Still, it would be an interesting party piece.

Unusual, too.

Oh dear.
Hot water bottles placed in the small of the back can be quite comfortingly relief bringing even if it's just psychological I find ( but then I would ).

So does mercury do that then? So would you be like the T-1000 in T2 and be able to withstand fire and things like that? Cool ;)

Feel better soon I hope.

I'd have to wear a cape and call my self Thermometer Man, or something similar... ;-)
