All of my nursing career I have used good body mechanics. Yesterday afternoon, maintaining good body mechanics I bent my knees leaned down to pick up a book I had dropped and hurt my lower back. I can not straighten up, so I walk bent over like an old crone, shuffling my feet because it hurts. At least this goes along with my silver white hair. I'm currently sitting in bed, with my lap top on my lap, a heating pad on my back, goofier than usual from a soma and a percocette. I would rather be drinking a glass or two or three of a fine merlot. Sen our long haired tuxedo kittle has settled on my left hip, snuggled down and purring LOUDLY. Morgan my 90 lb golden retriever laying on my lower legs and feet, simply because Sen has taken up residence at my side, but now my legs and feet are asleep but the upside is they're warm. He's snoring, LOUDLY. I do not have the speech capacity with the meds to make calls this afternoon for my recruiting business. Unfortunately because of said drugs I simply don't care, so I'm playing here on nursinglink.

I wish I could get all drugged up and get in bed.

Ok well I'd gladly trade places I'd love to soak in the tub, however I can't hardly get in, let alone get out of it. Lavender makes me sneeze and I prefer my nutmeg in apple pie

LOL, you are right, nutmeg, what was I thinking? My mind is on the brinks. Dmaz, I hope that you feel better, I would offer a lower back massage but you are three time zones away.

dmaz: I would be yelling if I could not get into my tub and soak. Feel better. Hope you are not laid up too long.

I was laughing so hard while I was typing the above post, I almost fell out of my chair! I was remembering every detail. (And cdnurse didn't even bat an eye!)
