It hurt. The main thing was that I woke up out of a dead sleep and
couldn't breathe or move. Talk about scary! It took me a moment to
figure out what the problem was, but trying to get out from under a
comatose dog is not easy, especially when you are partially
paralyzed from being squashed.

I would think you would be partially paralyzed. I can see the headlines,
"Woman murdered by sleeping Boxer."

Well, with those headlines, people would be reading to find out where the
misprint was. HOW could a sleeping dog murder someone. They must be
eeevil!

Harriet will do that if she's pretty sure I'm not coming back to
bed. When I'm in bed, though, she sleeps curled up next to me, with
her head resting on my side or my back.

However, there was that one time when I was sleeping on my stomach
and she curled up **on my back** and nearly killerated me.

Oh my gosh! with 7 herniated disc's I wouldn't be able to move for a
week. She might killerate me. I'm glad you survived. The pain I imagine
makes me cry.

I'm curious, I believe they hurt (no doubt in my mind that they hurt),
but in your opinion would herniated discs require you to go on long
term disability? I only ask because I know someone who did, and it
took her several doctors to find one that was willing to put her on
disability because of it. I tend to think she is just a wimp and
needs to get over it and stop looking for a free ride, especially
given a lot of the things she does while on disability. I would of
course like the opinion of someone else who has them, and I know from
your stories you seem like a fairly active person, so I think I have a
good idea on what your opinion on it would be, just don't want to make
any assumptions.

Pain (especially back pain as it relates to mobility) is hugely
individual, so making value judgments about your friend's mobility
level based on Diddy's pain and mobility level is kind of assholish.

I don't have any herniated discs, but I do have DDD.

Shelly, how were you diagnosed. I ask because my dr assumed that's what
was going on with me, and sent me to a physical therapist. I'm wondering
if other drs tend to, oh, I don't know, do some tests???

Wow. Have you ever experienced any chronic pain syndrome? Chronic pain is
no picnic, and enduring it all day long at a job can really mess up a
person's ability to take care of him/herself the rest of the time.
Quality of life is important!

Purely on symptoms, in my case (which I think is fairly common).
They *can* do scans/x-rays, though, if the diagnosis is difficult.

PT, huh? I was told to take Aleve or aspirin, not lift heavy stuff,
try not to twist my spin too much, and use ice/heat as needed. No
PT, though. I'm wondering how that would help, actually.

She's smart enough to establish an alibi so she can get away with the
murder.
