jvlgato Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Finally! Great news! Did you catch it so you can save it as a souvenir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks, it's remarkable how much better I feel without that damn thing inside me. And yes, the offending object was captured and will be turned into the doc today for further study (if necessary). Despite the lithotripsy the stone appears to have come out nearly whole. I took some quick measurements (turn away if you're squeemish) and it's a little over 1/4" (~6.5mm) long and at it's widest about 5/32" (4mm) in diameter. Not small. Lesson - I will be drinking a lot more water for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Pretty big stone, it's not surprising you were in such pain. Nate, not only drinking a lot of water, also some diet measures could be advisable depending on the stone composition. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Damn Nate, that's a huge stone to be passing out of anyone. Glad you got it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Those views do look nice, Mike. I can't wait to take a semi-vacation in a couple of weeks. I don't get to take the whole week off (change of command at work) but will be off most of the week thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 ^^^ Yup, very nice scenery up there, Mike. Happy hiking, and don't fall down to those treetops. Nate, you are lucky to have so much beautiful country nearby. Hope you get out to enjoy it this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Or just lowering your listening levels a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Define "not superloud". Safe levels are in the 80-85 dB for listening sessions of more than 4 hours. This assuming occasional peaks well under 95-100dB. The good ting about these loudness wars and compressed music is that you don't have to worry about the peaks anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I have a similar condition, Jacob. I've noticed that cans having "heavy" bass are more prone to excite the tinnitus. The HD 800 aren't one of them. Just use lower listening levels and you should be fine. Leave it more at 80dB. Of course not using the cans at all is safer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 No it's not, but we have loudspeakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Until the neighbors complain or the wife asks for a break. Any of both happens in a few minutes, so no danger for the ears. Edited July 3, 2013 by Torpedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Wow, she's fast. I have some more headroom, specially if she likes the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 At an outdoor DSO concert now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Last night in Canada (Quebec). There is a big festival going on here, started today. Saw a tiny bit of music, braved a lot of wandering crowds (chaotic a la Japan), and had a nice dinner. We also went today to an island outside of Quebec City and some falls that are higher than Niagara (but much narrower). Exhausted now, back at hotel in the AC and ready to relax. Back to USA tomorrow, one night in Burlington VT than home again..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
