Happy Birthday!!!

Living outside the US, and knowing all the troubles that many people had getting their customs properly fit, I wouldn't ever buy customs at those prices. If getting an universal which fits me like any other IEM I've owned, is going to give me 90-95% of the performance of the JH13 for a lower price, that I might consider. If performance isn't up to that, or the price isn't significantly lower, I wouldn't.

Happy Birthday!!!

Had you been a creationist you'd have been prescribed an exorcism. Probably. It's great you don't need a surgery. HLA-B27 isn't a condition by itself, but may be present on a few rheumatologic diseases. Hopefully you just have this knee inflammation and stops at that. Best wishes.

Sorry for your loss, Larry.

Keep the good times rolling guys, you look great.

Intelligent sling design Use it, you'll thank it later. I hope the X-Ray shows perfect bone repair and you're allowed cycling, climbing or whatever you want to do.

Oh, we'll see, maybe they take an Xray after those 4 weeks, so if the fracture is well consolidated, you may get back to normal life within the limits that the arm, having been relatively immobilized, allows. Are you allowed some movements? If so, try to keep your hand and elbow in motion. Something like crunching a tennis ball would help to prevent muscular atrophy in the forearm.

Really surprising. Is that because this system requires longer recovery time than the plate?

Happy Birthday, Dinny!!!! I wish it's the great prelude to an awesome year. Cheers!

Fantastic news, Justin! I'd avoid any exercise that may put in risk the surgery, I mean falling off or receiving an impact on the clavicle. Too much sweat isn't good either until the stitches are removed. You'll be fine soon.

Happy Birthday, gents!!!

That pic has been around for a while. If memory serves me right, the speaker is a Soundlab. At Carver site they seem to agree, and there's the same pic on color

With kids playing safe isn't a bad idea, ibuprofen is usually the election drug, but after surgeries, like tonsillectomy, paracetamol is preferred. All things accounted, IMO it's safer for your liver a daily those of 3 grs (1gr/8h) of paracetamol than 40 grs of alcohol, specially for women. However we're not speaking of needing painkillers on a daily basis for life, but just using something for a while which isn't as "dangerous" as opioids, yet effective if the pain isn't great.

There's no evidence that at the right doses there's any liver damage on the long term, but for perhaps habitual consumers hitting limit doses daily for years. However any NSAI inhibiting platelets aggregation, IMHO isn't a great idea after a surgery. Not what I'd take, but many orthopedic and traumatology surgeons prescribe them, so again, what do I know

Graham, you first need a diagnosis, once you know what you're dealing with, you can decide about the best treatment. You might need a biopsy of the articulation capsule, or the cartilage. Since afaik we don't have a diagnosis yet, I wouldn't go to any more invasive surgery than an endoscopic biopsy. But that's me, and what do I know.

Any idea of the music in the soundtrack? Wife liked it.

I have several external WD USB drives, but I've never used their software, so looks like I'm clear. I'm not aware of having lost any data so far. Upgraded to Mavericks the same day it was available here.

Really nice, Emooze.

This. It's transparent, but not colorless

This. As soon as pain is reasonable, I'd cut opioids and would do with just tylenol and such. Sending good vibes your way, Justin. We'll have you around in no time

Go Steve, Go!

Good luck, Justin. Everything will be fine

Justin, the system makes sense and it's possible it requires smaller incisions and perhaps less manipulation. I hadn't heard of it before, and I don't think this is a standard procedure over here, so don't have any first or reliable second hand references. IMO it mostly depends on how confident you feel about this surgeon, and how much a surgery scares you. I've undergone surgery several times, so it doesn't scare me at all, but undoubtedly the least risky, besides the pseudarthrosis risk and longer recovery time, is the bandage. Take your time to think about it, after all it's you who'll have to bear with any outcome this has. In the end, whatever you decide will be OK and you'll have to make the most of it.
