Make a neck sprain ice pack!

Make a neck sprain ice pack!
This is an instructable born of necessity.

This ice pack will also work for arms and legs, if that's the problem you're having!

I sprained my neck on Wednesday. Now it's Friday and it's still hurting. This is part of my solution.

I have a very hard time staying still. On Wednesday I went to a baking party and made various pastries all day long, until one in the morning. Yesterday I wandered about the apartment and cleaned and played videogames. Today I am telling myself I'm going to be nicer to my neck. So here we are!

With the help of Nicolas Cage movies and my fancy new ice pack scarf thing, I hope I'll be feeling better soon. :D

Step 1Get your ice ready!

Get your ice ready!
Use some frozen peas, carrots or corn in the original bag if you have them. I sadly used mine before I sprained my neck.

So instead I've put some ice cubes in a ziploc bag. Make sure you fill it all the way.

Yeah, but cats love to chase objects like that around (bottle caps, twisted twist ties, a ball of wadded paper.....I call it Kitty Hockey, only one cat needed :-)

My cat Odin (he has 6 toes on his two front paws) likes to play with the analog sticks on my ps2 controller and when i knot together refuse wire, he plays with the blob, it's pretty funny.

I watched our neighbor's cat playing with a large beetle once. He'd give it a bat, and sit back and wait for it to get itself off it's back and start trucking along again, and whap, he'd bat it in another direction. Hours of fun :-)

My cat in Saudi Arabia, theep, whom we gave away after we moved, pounced on a bird mid-flight and brought it home, and that was when h5-n1 bird flue was nearly at an epidemic 0.o

. Simple, functional, and, with a little creativity, not unfashionable. Great job. . Should work well with a small hot water bottle or other heat source, too.
