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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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*
