Remember how I had that vibrator? And I left it in the cupboard for a few weeks and when I found it again, it was covered in mouse crap? And everyone screamed at me ‘Throw it out! Throw it out! For the love of god, throw it out!’
Well I have a confession.
I didn’t throw it out.
Instead, I sterilised it and threw it into the back of a new, mouse free cupboard. [Actually, I left it in the bathroom cabinet and had to quickly hide it when my brother came to stay, lest he find it hidden under the facewashers. There are some things you don't need to know about your sister. It ended up in amongst the linen.]
So, when Bendy Girl suggested using a vibe on the muscle spasm that was keeping my shoulder subluxed last night, I was thankful I had it still. Somehow, I don’t think my little bullet vibe would have had the guts to buzz my shoulder into submission.
I rifled through the linen, swearing as I went and returned victorious with my toy in hand. A heat pack, some massage and a heck of a lot of chocolate later and…
… my shoulder was still out.
So I swapped vibes, went about muscle relaxation the other way and fell asleep. Unfortunately, the sleeping didn’t last too long, as Isaac has a bad virus and spent the night wailing about the injustices of life.
My shoulder was mostly back in place this morning and I’d had a grand total of 4 (non consecutive) hours sleep.
But man, sometimes I’m pleased I’m a hoarder.
Oh god I don’t know how you cope with it all the time sweety. ((hugs))

You could totally write advertising copy for these things. Who thought that a vibrator would be used for muscle relaxation in non sexy ares?

Just where the hell is NATHAN? Why is he not massaging your shoulders? Make that man earn his keep!!!

Snort. I knew you wouldn’t get rid of it!
I wanted to write something witty, but nothing came to mind. I would have kept it too.

I’m glad you got some relief. Isaac let Mommy rest one night, ok?

Love that lateral thinking BG and the hoarding that meant you could take advantage of it Veronica!
Is your little cherub teething by any chance? Hope you get more sleep tonight
hoping it all works out ok soon..
how are you doing?
and you get some sleep too..
I also have a massager and keep it right next to my bed. My back gets into knots sometimes so I completely understand how you feel.
Ever since I took meds for tumors that I had in my uterus my health also has gone downhill so I have my room completely structured for when I feel really sick.
Hope you feel better!
All the best,
Eren

lceel said what I was thinking. Why doesn’t Nathan do the shoulder massaging? That way you can have both sides relaxing while getting massaged. Doing it yourself means the muscles are still being used so can’t properly relax. I have the same thing with my neck pain. L will only massage in the oil when he’s “in the mood” i.e. as soon as i’ve given up waiting and I’m doing something else that really can’t be left, like cooking dinner…..or he’ll do a half-arsed job, complaining that he’s tired, his hands hurt, (this wouldn’t be a problem if he didn’t spend all day wanking), ooops, did I say that out loud? Aaaanyway. I hope it goes back in properly soon and at least you still got to relax.
@witchypoo; have you never got those magnamail catalogues in your mailbox which has these items advertised as massagers and the “model” is using it to massage her neck?
Hey I am with you – never throw anything out – you might need it! Luv your writing.
