Ouchie!

I mentioned on Friday that I hurt my back at work but, being a brave and uncomplaining soul, haven't mentioned it since.

Well - on Saturday morning it was difficult getting out of bed and I was well pissed off about it. But after a few co-codamol, a 40 minute walk and a hot bath I was reasonably fine.

Yesterday it seemed to have stiffened up again but after the painkiller, walk and bath treatment it was grand by last night and I was all set for work today.

This morning it was great - hardly a twinge and I set off for work. Maybe a little bit sore getting out of the car but nothing much - then...

Maybe it was a bit of an atmosphere I sensed, maybe it was the cold, maybe apprehension that the work expected of me was physical but whatever, the next thing my back went into a sort of spasm. The worst pain yet. I sent myself home.

So here I am. Sore to sit down, sore to stand and sore to walk. I'm dosed to the eyeballs with painkillers and I've got a hottie stuffed down the back of my trousers. As if my arse wasn't big enough.

  6. Minnie Driver wouldn't be my first choice of a hottie but I think it's good that Beowulf thinks she is. It means there's hope for us all.

    Poor moms. Hope your back feels better soon.

  8. Most hotties I can think of would do little or no good for back pain. However, as I am currently struck down with Man Flu, I would plump for Mary-Louise Parker in a nurse's uniform.

    Hope the pain recedes soon, Nelly

  9. Well, somewhat like Minnie Driver, but actually fit, and can act a whole hell of a lot better: Ms Rachel Weiss.

    Although I'd quite happily settle for Mary Louise Parker.
