Yeah, I tore a bunch of muscles in my back when I was at uni.

As I recall, I got a bunch of the big pink smarties*, and more or less just had to take things easy for a while. I wasn't bed-ridden or housebound or anything, but just sensible stuff - no sudden movements, no lifting of heavy things, that sort of thing.

i can bend down now, walk around with no pain and laugh, which i couldn't do earlier! i just can't twist all the way round... but it's not agony even when i do. the doctor mentioned taking a week to feel better so scott is taking that as a week in my bed but i know staying in the same position won't help. i wouldn't be doing anything strenuous in london... just walking and shopping. i wouldn't be worried about going, which i think is the main thing, i just have to persuade him!

i had painkillers at lunchtime and haven't needed to take anymore... although i think i might, just because it's enjoyable :>

a) Wear a corset, will hold ye together, b) London? That's like 5 hours of sitting doing nothing and not moving just to get there!
Hope you're alright
