devilgrrlI pretty much just assured that I will be thrown out of our bed to sleep on the couch. I have ached terribly all day, so I just slathered my body with BenGay. Much like a cat, Steven hates the wintergreen smell of BenGay with a passion usually reserved for hating, say, the devil. He's probably wincing right now even though I am sitting on the couch in the living room because his muscle rub sense is tingling.
I personally love the stuff. My gramma uses it all the time. I remember as a kid begging to her to let me have a little because I loved the smell. It's the same reason that I love Wint-O-Green Lifesavers. After I had knee surgery and before I discovered the wonder that is Ultracet, I used to slather it all over my knee at night because it was the only way I could sleep without Pain. The Ultracet has mostly made it possible to live a life without Pain, but some nights, I need the burning help of BenGay.
It's practically the Balm of Gilead and even though I reek of it now, I am a million times more comfortable. If my back hurts from sleeping on the couch, well, I'll just use more in the morning.
