Timelies! I need some advice from the medicalistas who happen to be around. That or one of the moms. Same dif. ;)
I pulled a muscle in my lower back getting out of the car (never throw your laptop bag over one shoulder and then lean out of the door to get out, baaad move.) I've come home so I don't have to walk around on the hard concrete floors at work. Now, I need to know if I should ice it, since I only did this a couple of hours ago or should I use a heating pad and how long for either of them. I took a couple of ibuprofen pills at work, but they don't really seem to be helping much.
Sail, I would ice it over the next 48 hours, at least.
But I don't talk to them, other than telling them not to tamper with my weapons stash.
This seems to me like a perfectly appropriate relationship to have with them.
Thanks, beth and Cindy. That's what I thought, too, but I can get confused about which one first, sometimes.
Off to find ziploc bag to put ice in.
ice, ice baby
Strangely enough, that is on this mini iPod too.
I have a nursing baby, a dog, and a Powerbook in my lap. Sort of crowded.

When you know you hurt yourself, ice is the deal, because it helps reduce swelling, which is at least partly to blame for your pain.
Go ice, choose ice. Just joining the chorus.
Parton I'd imagine.
Yes, I forgot to mention that part. She was cute. I think Jon might be smitten now. TDS is on 3 times a day so I actually manage to catch it on a regular basis.
Please excuse me while I curl up into a ball under my desk. Yes, the red hordes are making their stand.
Except I can, because my boss just asked for a status report on a project she gave me last week. My response: "Oh, I haven't looked at it in a few days (she's been out), but let me give it a once over to make sure it's all in order and I'll send you the draft."
Anyone care to guess what this means in real terms?
