I've been having back problems, exacerbated by a fall last Monday on sheet ice at one of my workplaces. I possibly have a slipped disk! This morning a doctor gave me a big pile of painkillers, a referral for scans, and signed me off work for the next couple of weeks. So basically if anyone wants me I'll be in a heap somewhere, full of pills.

I should get my netbook out again so I can actually talk to you guys properly while I lie here. (phones with internet have many fine properties but are still not ideal for long journal updates.)

Blaaaargh. :( I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks. It's rather wonderful to have better painkillers - it makes the difference between "this hurts" and screaming when I move wrong. Mostly I'm unbearably frustrated over not being able to work and not being able to do things around the house.

*cuddles* I hope you're lying comfortably at home recovering right now. Probably you are. Probably sleep has taken you. Sending warm, sticky-sweet cupcakey thoughts your way =D

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. Being confined to bed is always annoying.

Oh, jeez. My partner (minnaleigh) dealt with a slipped disk, and it was NOT FUN. I hope yours is the kind that rights itself on its own (apparently a lot of them do)!

I'm hopeful that it will, yeah. Mum has a history of this kind of stuff and it's always sorted itself out with time and exercises.

Sure am! Not as much sleep as one could wish, but definitely horizontal. :)

Thanks. The frustration really is pretty terrible. I want to do things! Go places! Clean ALL the things!
