Other useful ways of doing things

Yeah its the end of the week. No more PT appointments and no more Dr appointments for this week.....It seems like I am at one or the other everyday of the week. Ugh I want to stay home!!!

I had a PT appointment this morning and got my TENS unit to help shock my muscles to try and help release them.

If no one knows what I am talking about ... I was in an auto accident in June involving a Drunk Driver. I was injured and am still being treated.

Why I am writing this post????? ...............

We put the tens unit on for the first time today. Its a little device that when turned on it shocks your muscles. Believe it or not it feels pretty good. Anyway.... I had to take off the electrodes when I got home.... Now this was no easy task. I wonder to myself why in the world would they put that silly thing where I could not grasp it??? You know just right there in the middle of your back. That area you can never seem to scratch by yourself. Try as I might I could not get my hand in the area where it needed to be to grasp that little round sticky and gooey circle. Do you think it could be because I am old and don't bend that way anymore? Heck I'm not part of the circus ... here I am jumping around trying to get this thing that is stuck to me off.. I stood on my head .. I'm rolling on the floor like a beached whale...I layed down.... I twist.... I turn...I had to get this little disk off.....you can't wear them when you shower.

I could see it now.. Headline news... stupid woman shocked to death in her own shower by tens unit.... Now I would be on the Darwin list of stupid things!!!!!

Oh back to story... why do I always get side tracked writing these things????

Anyway here I am stuck with this electrode on my back... what to do???? what to do??? Well since I have no one to help in the immediate area... like any well adjusted woman I took matters into my own hands... since I could not reach it with my fingers... Yes you guessed it.....I grabbed a set of tongs from the kitchen drawer...

Yeah it worked out just perfect. I am quite proud of myself being able to remove that little electrode all by myself. Now I know how to get it back on and into the right place too :)

So if anyone has other fun and useful ways to use other items intended for other uses please comment.. I would love to hear some of your ideas :)
