I no longer think helping to move the desk yesterday morning was a good idea. The sanders are one the first floor. I'm in the bed on the second. On my back.

Eep.

Best wishes for a thorough and speedy recovery.

Moving desks around - that's what your friend at Harriet Manor is for...

Ow ow ow! Here's hoping your back is better by the time the sanding's done.

I try to avoid calling friends to move furniture at 6:30 am.

Aiee! I hope you feel better soon.

I hope it's just sore muscles. (Those heal easily enough and you end up stronger.)

I don' think

Sore muscles do quite the exquisite things my back, leg, and arm were doing yesterday, but thanks. I'm much better today. I can walk... I just choose not to.

If it is sore muscles (they can be quite painful, especially if you're going from a basis of no exercise to way too much), I've found the best thing to do is a little bit more exercise (half the weight and half the reps) the next day. The following day, the soreness is pretty much gone. (My suspicion is that using the muscles lets the blood circulate through them.)

Thanks!

It seems to be working even without ice & ibuprofen.

Thanks!

I'm not ready to go dancing, but I'm walking and sitting in a chair, which is big improvement from yesterday.

Thanks!

I'm doing much better.
