so there i was, in my (clean) rather slinky underpants - no, not the ones with turn.ups - lying face down on the bed with a worried expression while doctor david vigorously announced he was just reaching for the oil.
you could almost see the question mark forming above my head as i desperately debated my options -
crash through the window into the busy shopping street just the other side of the net curtains
whisper 'but we've only just met'
or turn over and convince him my name is really mavis
in the end (wrong expression, i know) i did none of the above.
i just lay there as he manipulated my muscles.
i finally decided to give this a try to see if i could get rid of the fierce pain that shoots down my right leg whenever i walk.
doctor david reckons it is the sciatic nerve, but that it is trapped within a muscle rather than the spine, which is reassuring.
so, have to rest this afternoon, and hope the session helps.
back again in a week's time.
must remember to change my underpants.
