I'm alive. Just to let you all know that.

I've strained the muscles in my back so I haven't been able to sit at the computer much (too much time sitting in a bad position on a bad chair is what injured my back in the first place). But don't worry. You haven't missed anything exciting. I lead an amazingly boring life after all.

There you are. Your neighbors can now breathe a sigh of relief. :-)

Ouch. Make sure EWK gives you back massages if that helps

Ouch! Hope this gets better quickly!

If you lived a boring life, I wouldn't have put ya in my 'hood!

Feel better soon. Back pain sucks!

Hope you get better soon!!

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon! Take lots of ibuprofen.

Oww. Bad chairs are such torture. I hope you feel better soon!

Physical therapy?
Heat?
Cold?
Something.
Because pain is right out.

Look forward to your musings when the pain goes.

Get well quick.

Thanks for your kind support, everyone. I'm wedging a pillow behind my back to give myself a bit more back support while working and limiting the amount of time I'm spending on the computer. I'm finding that stretching, gentle exercise, constant movement, hot baths and heat packs are all helping to heal my back. The GP has put me on Nurofen Plus as well (iboprofen alone doesn't seem to do much) but I hate codeine so I only use it when the pain is particularly bad. Thankfully I haven't had to use it for a few days now. I'm vague and scattered enough without drugs making me even more so!

I hope you feel better soon!

I'll try to send you some healing vibes... do they go clockwise or anti-clockwise "down under"? I can never remember...

Glad to know you're alive and well! I hope your back mends soon!

Healing vibes go clockwise. It's the toilets that flush anti-clockwise*.

* Apologies to all the scientists who are having conniptions right now.

Y-You mean... The Simpsons lied to us? :O

This is what I get for basing all my scientific knowledge on cartoons! Next you'll be telling me it isn't even possible to dig a tunnel all the way through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side!

Hope you're feeling better now. Back pain is the worst.

I bloody well hope not. Otherwise there's my pet project out the window and five year's worth of digging wasted.

Actually, that may be the solution to global warming... if you can put a hole through the centre of the planet, then get a breeze going... hmmm... I mean, someone else will have to figure out the exact science on that, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work!

Epsom salts.

You are not alone with a boring life. The unavoidable, mundane, tedious, shit of human existence ... sigh ....

Glad you're still out there and get well soon! Yikes- back pain is the worst...
