update in re: OW MY MOTHERFUCKING BACK!!!

[hth]

Okay, when I posted earlier today, I announced that I was experiencing some back pain.

I would now like to upgrade that to, I have thrown my back out and am in constant misery. With occasional bouts of stabbing agony to spice things up.

My father had these back problems all my life, so I'm familiar with them from the other side -- you know, the side of your parent being bedridden for days on end so that you have to ferry him sandwiches and Tylenol from other rooms. So now I not only have pain and an incredibly frustrating sense of helplessness, I have to come to terms with the fact that I'm thirty years old and have an old person's back.

Of course, so do Rodney McKay and Tim Bayliss. What I want right now is for the two of them to knock on the front door and bring me, respectively, a prescription mattress and some of those painkilling drugs. (Actually, I'd settle for any mattress. The really demoralizing part is that I doubt I'll feel any better tomorrow, after spending another night on the goddamn floor.) Also, if Ronon's any good at massages, I would not turn that down, either.

Ironically, earlier today, back when I was in mere discomfort, I read yin_again 's charming Rodney-is-a-masseur AU. I liked it because it was well-written and sexy. Now I'm just like, fuck porn -- masssage! Massages are the new porn!

Of course, the old porn is still porn. Feel free to leave some in the comments, as an act of pity. You'll get into heaven faster -- and some of you appear to need all the help you can get in that department. *g*

Maybe this will make you feel better (I hope!). Not new, but definitely porn. It does involve McDex, but John gets in there too. Hope that's okay.

This is intriguing! I'm looking forward to the story that will eventually explain how it all came to be.

It coming! I have you to thank (or blame *g*) for making me interested in the McDex pairing. Unfortunately, this fic, supposed to be a nice, short AU, is blowing out the word count. I can do long, no worries, but the damn muse keeps adding stuff! *g*

Hope it distracted you from your back for a bit! ;-)

Dude, I moved this week, too. I didn't throw out my back (this time) but I did end up with a lovely summer cold, and a fever. In 100 degree temperatures. In other words, I feel your pain. My sympathies.

I'm sure this is the most ginormous moving weekend of the year, what with school and a lot of leases running August to August. What's with that? Is it some kind of conspiracy? Because who would arrange the world so that people had to move in *August,* unless they had evil intent? Take care of yourself -- feed that cold!

Sorry, all out of porn, but I hope your back feels better. And hey, masseur AU? Why haven't I seen that?

TY!

Massage is totally better than sex, most days, I swear. I mean, there's always porn, but you can't sit back and relax with a good fictional massage. There is no substitute.

Ohh, I'm really sorry about your back, nothing like a back injury to make you reflect on age. 30 huh? Methinks I see a minivan in your future :P

I looked for some Ronan porn to cheer you up, but unfortunately I couldn't find any that I really like. I do however really like this Rodney/Teyla/John story, and hopefully it will tide you over till someone else can get you what you need :)
