20 Minutes is a Freaking Long Time

It's not really that long but I have an ice pack on the small of my back.  It's over my clothes and I'm leaning in the chair to hold it in place.  I'm leaning ever so slightly but enough.

I have a hurting back.  The chiropractor thinks it's a pinched nerve, but it could be a strained muscle.  He's still figuring it out.  All I know is that it hurts and I'm walking like a very old lady.

I need to find the Alleve or Advil, apparently the Tylenol I've been taking (which hasn't done anything) does nothing for inflammation.

It's been 4 minutes.  It's going to be along day!

Paranoia or Good Sense

I was looking at articles on H1N1 yesterday.  Two people in China may have died due to the vaccination.  A local medical center is buying gallons of hand sanitizer monthly.  I've heard of schools cleaning door knobs multiple times throughout the day with germ killing chemicals.  To get to the restroom at work, I need to open three doors one way.  That's a lot of germ infested door knobs to touch. 

Pkin and I were at Costco, at check out the family behind us had two preteen girls who were sneezing.  No hands were covering mouths and I didn't see a tissue anywhere.  Pkin moved us to the front of the cart - so there were only sneezing on our purchases. 

Wow!  All this stuff can make you crazy.  Do you wear a mask?  How much hand sanitizer should you use?  How can you not shake hands?  I heard something about elbow bumping as an alternative.  Heck, I'm ready to wave only.
