argh cough rubrics!

[Shannon Nelson]

Thanks Joy, I'll be reading!
The distinction in terminology still escapes me, tho...

[Shannon Nelson]

That would be "motion" tho...
But it does indeed come down to reading the remedies; so for now, I'm just using the larger rubric, and will read!

Sorry, I got interrupted...
Roger, thank you so much for weighing in--"straight from the horse's mouth."
As a point of... well, I guess just information rather than discussion, but--In my own usage, and I believe commonly (at least US), the terms "lying" and "lying down" have been basically interchangeable: "Where's dad?" "Oh, he's lying down for a while." (Not the motion; and you wouldn't say "he's lying for a while".) Or, "He'll be lying in bed for a while." (Tho "lying down for a while" would be much the more usual way to say it.)

Sigh, language is tricky, and I take this as a reminder. Would it be clearer if written, "< motion, lying down"??? (Still needs reading to get specific meaning, tho.) Just my thought.

Thanks so much for your clarification--always appreciated!!

Dear Shannon,

you are right, not easy sometimes to derive to the right conclusion while reading the MM material.
But since it is a big difference in terms of activity, I think it is worthwhile to try...

be well,
