(I look after my things; when I was a kid we didn't get new things very often, so I had to take care of them.)<br /><br />The back is getting better. I've no idea what makes it play up.

On a grumpier note, I have been on the receiving end of fat-discriminatory doctors too many times. How simple there jobs would be if people would just be thin.

It's true that we don't get often get half-sizes for shoes here anymore, but they still exist, which is a good thing as I often need a 4 and a half. Hope your back gets better soon, as I know it can be horrible. Good to hear going to the gym is starting to have its effects.

No booze whilst your on ibuprofen, missy!

I don't know your GP, but if you're comfortable enough, it might be worth asking straight out if that would be the same advice given to a thin person. <br /><br />I hope you're feeling better soon.
