Oh, man, are you funny!
I loved the salt in the creases of your neck thing. :-) That made my afternoon.

Chicken and dumplings has healing powers for a bad back.
just shared this list with my hubby who has been battling back pain for the last year and a half. He enjoyed it from his pillow and ice-pack couch spot. :0)
he thinks he can do the laundry toe launch thing too. it's good to have goals. :0)
I had polyhydramnios (a rare condition where you create too much amniotic fluid, to the point of creating major problems) with each pregnancy.
I got to the point of not being able to wash my face unless I was in the shower due to the fact that there was no position that would put my face over the sink unless I was on my knees (in which case I could not get up). So the spitting out toothpaste line made me LOL.
And then on my last pregnancy, it got so bad, I was on prostrate bed rest for 5 weeks...I wasn't even allowed to SIT! So the typing on the laptop lying flat with the laptop laying on the tummy is something I could totally relate to (except for the fact that my tummy was humongous and therefore I had to carefully wedge it up with multiple props). Too funny!
Hope you will be 100% soon. We're all praying for you here at Neighborhood Church!
Oh how this made me laugh. I especially loved #12, 14 and 21!
