Some of the lyrics leave little to the imagination.<br /><br />The redoubtable Roger McGuinn has also entered this field albeit with rather milder examples of the genre.<br /><br />Take good care of yourself<br /><br />HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-90795883189932784262014-11-16T08:04:17.649-05:002014-11-16T08:04:17.649-05:00Thank you, Amy!

You're right, until one is in pain, one never thinks about such things like what do you do with your arms (or legs) at night. I mostly sleep on my side with one hand under my pillow and the other arm just lying in front of me.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-65641971533525863432014-11-14T10:25:05.144-05:002014-11-14T10:25:05.144-05:00Dear Kay, may you be well and free of pain.......I...Dear Kay, may you be well and free of pain.......I have bad arthritis in my right shoulder and often have these problems. Sometimes holding my arm straight up in the air for a minute of two helps....Sometimes pillows to prop it up on will help......Sometimes just saying, "this, too, shall pass."

Once I had a soft tissue injury in my shoulder and the pain would radiate down my arm every night unless I slept with it propped up on a yoga brick. So that's what I did for about 6 months, LOL!
