If she laid down a box or other object, laid would be correct. However, in the sentence quoted, lay is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take an object. Therefore, lay is correct. Laid is a transitive verb and must have an object.

Laying is correct if she is laying an egg or laying a baby down for a nap. If you recline, you are lying. Sounds like a insult, doesn't it, like she isn't telling the truth.

Lenard splint?
Subject: Lenard splint?

This is a wound care note.  They use these splints often, and I have been spelling it Lenard because that's the spelling I found when I Googled it.  It's not in my Stedman's surgical equipment book or my Stedman's on line.  Now the doc spells is (like he's noticed it's misspelled), but spells it Lynard.  Nothing, but nothing medical comes up on Googling that spelling.  Does someone for for sure what this is and how to spell it?  Thanks in advance!
