Peas, Please

The doc sent me to have some X-rays taken this morning to make sure no ribs are cracked or broken from my football games Monday night.

I still haven’t gotten the results, so I assume everything is OK.

In the meantime, I’ve developed an intimate relationship with Aleve and Peas.

The doc said to ice as much as I can stand. I can’t.

I jokingly asked if a bag of peas would work. He said if I wanted, but he suggested investing in one of the newer cold packs they sell at local drug stores.

So I checked out CVS. And voila!

I found Peas!

I bought the medium cold pack that “conforms when cold” and “stays colder longer.”

It is so cool! Literally! And too cute.

The Peas therapy packs contain blue and white gel-filled peas that mold to your body. Use the pack over and over again.

Believe me when I say I hate icing, but I actually did it twice at work because the Peas cold pack was actually fun to use!

Peas come in various sizes and styles:

*Large
*Lower back (with a strap that goes around your waist)
*Neck or shoulder
*Knee
*Wrist
*Youth joints
*Little duck (for the kiddies!)
*Little fish
*Little starfish

I recommend using Peas while drinking hot chocolate and wearing a winter coat!
