Not nice

Yep
Banana shape - on pad
Did she recommend any other fruit positions?

Have to admit, I'm apple shaped, whether sitting or standing.
Sometimes the apple is bigger, sometimes smaller, but always an apple

Oh charming! I have never heard anyone described that way before!

You've made me think about it now Annie. I sit on the same end of the sofa always, with cushions to my back. I sit at a slight angle to watch TV and often have my laptop on my lap. Over the years I have flattened the seat cushion so I sink into a bit too much. I slouch I think and my neck goes forward if I am typing. My shoulders have become more rounded. Bad posture really. So, no, not banana shaped but certainly not ironing board shaped either!

Wow Annie I love bananas did she suggest any shapes for strawberries by any chance

Well, don't let it get under your skin, Annie.

Day6 you could have been describing exactly how I sit on the sofa!

I’m not tall enough to be a banana Annie
I usually curl up in a corner of the sofa surrounded by a pile of cushions.

I’m a funny one as I always sit on the floor leaning against the chair or lying down sometimes with a cushion for my head watching Tv and with my iPad close by
I bought a lovely settee and chair last year, a recliner, and I was so happy with it, but still find myself on the floor

My Physio is blaming my shoulder pains on being round shouldered and I am a banana/apple cross.

Day6, do not put your feet on the other sofa arm or you too will become a banana .

BlueBell, how I miss sitting on the floor, if I did that now I would have to press my alarm for someone to get me up, and would rather not think about needing a wee quickly .

No other fruits mentioned sorry.

MissAdventure, ha bloody ha ?

I am comforted being a banana, and if I sat up as instructed I couldn't hold the iPad all day. The sofa is my nest , feel warm and safe . ?

What did the physio recommend, please, Annie? I think I'm banana shaped too. Its actually uncomfortable to straighten my shoulders back to where I think they should be.

I totally relate to the sofa as a nest Annie. Mine is soft velvety corduroy that I can snuggle into. Everything to hand. If only I had a butler I'd probably never get off it!

I am to sit on sofa, my back against back of sofa and feet on a stool of sorts. Problems are - I sit left hand side of sofa, have coffee table with shelf almost same length as sofa , keep my lap tops and second iPad under the shelf, my puzzle books and few wicker baskets with note pads and things on shelf, on top of table a magnifier, phones, pens and pencils, remote controls etc. If I sit up I can't pick things up with my left hand and can't see clearly because of low vision AND will be facing the opposite wall but lying on sofa i am facing window,see the sky, trees with lots of birds perched and mountains.

Seems my choices are stay as I am and keep tension in my shoulders and neck and my tummy sinking down which isn't helping my digestive system or sit up and look at a wall with iPad in hands not resting on my tummy .

Egalatine, i only get out of my nest to go to loo, make tea and put chicken in oven for dinner , would rather like a thingy at front door so I could ask who was there without getting up to go into hall to answer the door, I could say no thank you or come in

Oh, I remember going to London at 18 and being very impressed with my first encounter with a "talking door". Where I came from people just called yoohoo and walked in. You could shout

Shouting wouldn't help, Lottie barks as soon as the door bell rings ?

Don't worry Anniebach when we are out of EU all bananas can be as bent as we like! I am an apple ?crossed with a banana ?. I too have a little nest with everything to hand, cat, ipad, remote controls,glass of water.......if I had a catheter fitted i wouldn't have to get up at all!

I'm getting more and more like a prune, or so it seems if I make the mistake of looking in the mirror after putting my lenses in...

annie could you move your sofa so it faces the window, or is in a position where you’re sitting as instructed but if you turn your head you can see out?

I was a pear but am now apparently an apple.

Can you not move the sofa Annie to improve your view?

Janeainsworth, can't move sofa it would block radiator and kitchen door, could sit and turn my head to window but not for the long spells I do now, I love watching the birds

I want to be an apple Nfk, but need to put on quite a bit of weight to be one, I think I am rather like a runner bean when standing and seems a banana when relaxing on sofa

Bananas are nice, I can rarely eat just one!

I'm not sure what I am, trying to think

Perhaps monkey nuts in a shell (but not as wrinkled - honestly!).
