Thank you for my laugh of the day! Sounds like your husband is being supportive of you in this, and that helps. I kind of mentally pictured my nerve endings reattaching and coming to life again, that helped me get through it. Dancing works as good as exercise, probably better because you'll actually dance as a way to put the music on and ignore the world.

I find that putting on my iPod and dancing around helps to take my mind off how awful I'm feeling. And yesterday when I was struck down on the sofa feeling utterly incapable of any movement, I insisted my husband haul me up by my arms and tell me to get my *ss in gear. In the nicest possible way, of course. Like, "Please, dear, could you get your darling if growing *ss in gear so I can sit on the sofa for a change?" I must say, he got out of the way pretty quickly when I lunged for him in reply.
