Summarize the following:
Wrap the hot pack, or hot water bottle, in a towel before putting it on. Apply the hot pack for 10 minutes at a time. As a precaution, you can use a cold pack when you start to feel irritation in your back and spine. Take a cold pack, or a bag of frozen peas, and wrap it in a towel. Apply it to your lower back for 10 minutes at a time. You can try alternating between a hot compress and a cold pack to ease the pain. Leave them on for 10 minutes at a time. Due to your spinal condition, you may be more comfortable walking with your body flexed forward. Lean on a walker or a cane when you stand and walk to reduce stress on your spine. You can buy a walker or a cane at your local medical supply store or online. In some cases, you can get a brace for your back to support your spine. Speak to your doctor about this option. You can order a custom back brace that fits you properly online or through your local medical supply store. Go for chairs that recline and have back support. Avoid chairs with straight backs, as they can make your spinal condition worse. You may swap out your chairs at home or at work to make them more comfortable for your spine and back.

summary: Put a hot compress on your back to ease inflammation and pain. Apply a cold pack to your back to prevent swelling. Use a walker or cane to get around. Get a back brace. Sit in chairs with lumbar support.

Have the child bend over at the waist. Place your hand under her chest for support.  To perform this maneuver properly on a child, you'll likely need to kneel on the floor.  Don't try to pull the object out of the child's mouth if the child is conscious. Try to get it out with the Heimlich maneuver instead.  You can also place a child across your lap face down, if that is more feasible. Use the heel of your hand. Whack the child on the back directly between the shoulder blades five times.  These blows should be fairly hard. They shouldn't be hard enough to knock the child over with your support, but they do need to be relatively sharp.  The American Heart Association doesn't teach back blows when performing the Heimlich; the Heimlich alone (abdominal thrusts) can be effective without them.  Look to see if the object has dislodged. You may see the object fly out, or you may notice the child has started breathing again. Put your arms around the child. Use one hand to make a fist and place it directly above the child's navel. Try to get below the breastbone. Cover your fist with the other hand. Pull your fists upward into the child's abdomen. Make this thrust quickly. Repeat four times or until you notice the object choking the child dislodges. If no one is around and you've tried the Heimlich once, be sure to call 911. You want help to be on the way. If you asked someone else to call 911, make sure the person has done it. If it didn't work, continue moving back and forth between back blows and abdominal thrusts. Keep going until you see the object come out, the child begins to breathe normally again, or the child becomes unconscious.

summary: Bend the child over. Give five back blows. Place your fists. Pull upward. Call 911. Check to see if it worked.

Body language can go a long way in helping you see whether or not the girl really likes you. Her words may not tell you that she likes you, but her body can give her away. If the girl really likes you, then she may turn her body toward you and try to lean in when she's talking to you so she can get a little closer. Here are a few more signs that she's into you:  See if she twirls her hair or looks down at her feet. This means that she's feeling shy and nervous about talking to you because she likes you. See if she shuffles her feet or plays with her hands or jewelry. This is another sign that she's fidgeting because she likes you. See if she breaks eye contact. If you share a moment of intense eye contact and then she looks away, it may mean that she's feeling shy about talking to you. Check out her smile. Does she smile when she's talking to you, even if you don't say anything that should make her smile? This may mean that she likes you. Do you notice that she dresses up more when she knows she'll be around you? If you both know you'll be running into her at the mall and she's all dressed up and wears more makeup than usual, it may be for you. If she knows she'll see you on the weekend and puts on a new dress, she may be trying to look good for you.  She may also put on a hint of perfume if she knows she'll be around you. If you don't think she wears perfume during school but suddenly puts it on when you're at a group hang at the movies, it may be for you. You'll need to take into consideration whether she's known for her above-and-beyond style even when you're not around. For example, ask other classmates if she dresses up on days you don't see each other, or pay attention to how she looks on days when you run into her accidentally to see if her outfits are always as put-together as they are when she knows she'll be around you. This is a dead giveaway that she really likes you. If you catch her blushing after you look at her, or if her face turns bright red in the middle of a conversation with you, then she's feeling shy because of how much she likes you. Observe her for a while. See if she's the kind of person who's just really shy, or if she blushes only for you. If she only blushes in front of you, then she thinks you're special.
summary: Check out her body language. See how she looks around you. See if you make her blush.
