They will sort you and you can put the pills in the bin. I don’t know why doctors keep peddling drugs when there are people who spend their whole time sorting back problems.

That said, I did see one and he helped sort my back. On the other hand, I have been to see physios that made me do almost exactly the same things (without the "crack") and that had the same effect. My current back chap (a consultant I saw privately) has basically prescribed pilates (following an MRI to find out what was going on). He did give me some diazepam and voltarol in case it flares up again. It hasn't.
When you get properly mobile again, I thoroughly recommend pilates. Boring and repetitive but it seems to have done the trick.
Good morning ladies and germs!!! What a lovely spring morning we have, the sun is shining (no it's not) the birds are singing (no they're not they're sheltering from the rain) and the flowers are blooming (nope they all died off with the snow)!!!!
I bought a gazebo yesterday just so I can work on the cars, because hey it's British spring time and Easter so of course we have a week of rain!!!!

And thinking of unsettling experiences, I delivered a people carrier to Northants the other day. That in itself wasn't unsettling. It was the people. Turning into the road I just knew which house it was. It was the neglected house with three cars in various states of disrepair in the front garden. As I approached the front door I could see the paint was peeling and the windows hadn't been cleaned for years. I knocked. Nothing happened. I looked through the front window. A grimy kid sat glued to the television. There were two battered cardboard boxes of toys and some beaten up furniture. I knocked on the window. The girl looked round, saw me and burst into life. "He's here!" she yelled. Two more kids appeared from nowhere grinning broadly. The words 'excited' and 'feral' came to mind. The front door flew open and the three grimy kids wearing very little were there before me beaming from ear to ear. "Have you brought us our new car?" Beyond them was bare concrete floor with one carpet square that had seen better days. "Yes, here it is," I replied. "I love you!" cried the eldest child and stepped outside to hug me round my legs. The other two took their cue and soon all three were hugging me at the same time. When I was in danger of losing my balance dad arrived to save me. He was a slob. At first glance a text book slob; tracksuit bottoms and tee shirt. The tee shirt stood out from his trousers by about a foot on account of his belly. He was less grimy than his children though. None of them had many clothes and none of the clothes had ever seen an iron and rarely bothered a washing machine. But he was such an amiable guy and there was so much love flying around between him and his kids. He held on to one or other of them as he talked about the new car, talked about his project cars and then, "Oh, here she is," as his wife appeared. His wife was petite, slim, attractive, well dressed, carefully made up, articulate and pleased as punch at her new transport. What just happened? How did... why... what? How could she do that amongst all this neglect? The contrast between her and the rest of the ensemble was astounding. She'd never driven an automatic. She'd never been in a car with electric seat adjustment. All were mastered in seconds and off she went on her own for a little test drive with the children screaming encouragement from the drive. They were so proud of her.
I've been collecting and delivering cars for a while now and have learnt not to let my mouth hang open in disbelief. But blimey you do see some sights.
