St George The Martyr

Well that serves me right does not it? I write about hacking down ceilings and then I put my back out! Happily, my torn muscles are healed up now and i am back to hacking off plaster - although, I admit, more carefully! I've never had back problems before, so it was a new experience for me, and made me think about death! Let me explain. After the 1st day or two, I was alright sitting, and alright standing - it was the getting up which was agony. So I developed my own technique: 1st of all, use arms to shuffle forward to the edge of the seat; then, with hands on knees.
