That is us too... He 'drives' and I tell him every turn to make. Sometimes he listens, and the rest of the time we go the wrong way.Driving trips with us are funny. Even though I'm the one behind the wheel, Diane is really the driver. She has the Atlas on her lap for almost the entire trip.
Once I punch in the cruise control, all I do is aim.
Did you ever watch someone try to take a nap in the front seat of a car with the seatbelt on?
It's pretty entertaining.
There is more shuffling, moving around, moaning, groaning, "tsk tsking".
I checked to make sure her door was locked.
Pure torture. You wan to sleep yet cant seem to get in a position that will let you truly fall all the way asleep.
Nebo, Nebo, Nebo. Haven't you conned your doctor into proscribing you a TENS unit yet for your back? (TENS = Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
(Pun warning!) It'll really give you a major buzz. O.K, so you had to have used one to get that one.
My TENS unit saved this last Disney World vacation for me. I can't take NSAIDS because I am allergic to them. Just give me half a Flexeril at night 3 nights in a row and I am in major space city. Let's not even consider Vicodin. I would prefer to be awake during my Disney trip!
All you have to do is slap on the sticky pad electrodes, connect the wires to the little box, turn it on,choose your level, and attach to your waisteband or other semi-stationary piece of clothing.
You may look like a walking home made bomb, but it fools your brain into stopping all those nasty back spasms.
Just be careful what you say when you go through security. Murmering something resembling Farsi under your breath just might get you some really special treatment.
And don't let your DW tell everyone that you are "da bomb!"
Those things are so cool! My chiro. hooks me up to them when I go there and they are heaven. I cant imagine being lucky enough to have my very own! My back was out for a few days last week and I would have killed for one of my own.
