    Quite right kiwigeo. I should have said crunches, or abdominal, or whatever they call situps now. Of course, we shouldn't do situps like we did years ago. But still strengthening the 'core' is a great cure for lower back problems. (He says as he tries to type with frozen peas on his elbow to reduce the swelling from a day in the shed).

    And zovirax for the chicken pox. Wonder cure it is.

    Unfortunately this is probably not true for primary chicken pox but it is a good drug for shingles. For those that still want to try and use it for chicken pox it is not covered by the PBS(for the above reason) and is very expensive.

    Well the drug that the doc prescribed for me was called 'Famvil', also not covered by the PBS.

    $220 for seven days worth :eek: , and it "can reduce the duration of the illness by two or three days".

    Then the doc looked in his magic cupboard and found some free samples he'd been given. I kept my money.

    I had a week off but I came back to work last Thursday.

    I have little respect for my workmates.

    At least you stopped kissing them for a while though? Guess they were safe enough anyway as who hasn't caught it by the time they reach the ripe old age of 30 anyway? Watch out for Mumps, not much fun at all either

    I had the mumps when I was a kid, but I was talking to a friend of mine on the weekend who caught the mumps of his kids when he was 34. He said his ....errr......tackle ( :eek: ) swelled up to twice the normal size :eek::eek::eek:. That was thirty years ago, and he reckons that 'old lefty' can still give him a bit of pain if he sits the wrong way. :eek:

    The good news about mumps is that it is very uncommon now. As someone working in that industry I have seen a grand total of 1 case in 15 years. The childhood vaccination as been very effective.
    Good on you for getting the free samples.

    My poor little munchkin (daughter) woke up with spots yesterday morning. Community nurse confirmed chicken pox.

    Default Word from the wise

    My MIL (pushing 80) has a saying - "Old age is not for sissies".
    Didn't think I qualified as "old aged" but sure can identify with that saying.
    Every minute in the shed means an ache or pain somewhere - never know where next.
    Cheers
