Happy Anniversary to you and Mr L, Lottie... not very happy right now is it... but I'll say well done - I think it's admirable to stay together. (Not under *any* circumstances, of course, but generally.) You have to call the GP to juggle the physio appointment?? Physios over here handle their own schedules! I really hope she/he will get you back on your feet xx ...and Shaney that your doctor will you too. *Could somebody get Jude OFF her feet* (ha ha ha ha ha, more oxygen and Tena needed please for the JibJab! Robinia you are going to have to make a new cut of that every other other week from now on, cos this one will expire! :((
Speaking of mattresses and IKEA - listen up jno and everybody else - they have a special catalogue just for mattresses which they will send you by old fashioned mail if you ask them to
http://www.who-sells-...esses-2009-17009.html The Swedish one, at least, is more exhaustive (on mattresses) than the standard catalogue or the web site. I used to have a very expensive box spring and now I have a slatted bed base (the futon, Danish, not IKEA) with a rather thin latex and wool mattress. Shortly after I bought the futon I got that excruciating lumbago if you'll remember - it took me 1,5 hours just to get out of bed and I screamed my way through it... followed shortly thereafter by that horrible rib thing... One would think it's my new bed's fault and maybe it does have to do with me needing time to adjust to it, but in a long time perspective I suspect the "unyieldingness" of the bed base is better for me than the springs were. Provided, of course, you put a good mattress on top of it, or it's murder.
