ironbut Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Installed a new seat on my Aeron chair today. I added more sit-ups to my daily exercises and my tailbone was hurting. I improved my crunch technique to minimize the impact on my butt and that didn't help. Ordered a new seat and now that I installed it, man, what a difference! It didn't seem like my old seat was that worn but it must've been sagging more than I thought. Happy happy!

Grahame Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Back in the US in time for my (N)MRI thanks to a "a state-of-the-art General Electric GE Signa® HDe 1.5T Scanner" Closed scanner, but it was only my embiggened right knee they were imaging, so I went in feet first, and my head stayed outside. Nice relaxing half hour rest while I was forced to wear some no name headphones ear protectors and listen to what sounded like bad early experimental electronic music ( but was just the magnetic coils getting exited, and relaxed ). Review of the imagery first thing Monday. Lets see if we can get a better diagnosis than "non specific inflammation" I'd be happy with being pain free and a return to normal function.
Dusty Chalk Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 ...what sounded like bad early experimental electronic music ( but was just the magnetic coils getting exited, and relaxed ). So true! I told the technician when asked, "are you okay, were you alright in there?": "Yeah, but...that music sucked. And this is coming from someone who has listened to all of Metal Machine Music more than once."
HeadphoneAddict Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 So true! I told the technician when asked, "are you okay, were you alright in there?": "Yeah, but...that music sucked. And this is coming from someone who has listened to all of Metal Machine Music more than once." When I had an MRI they let me plug in an iPod in the control room and listen to my own music. The headphones sucked though - it was like the old airline headphones where the speaker is in the machine, and it uses a stethoscope like apparatus (air tubes) to transmit the music to your ears.
Hopstretch Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Trade you the (N)MRI for my epic three-hour root canal, G-dawg. Feel and look as if someone punched me in the face. With intent!
n_maher Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Ouch, sucks Stretch. I went to the dentist this morning and other than raping my mouth with floss it was a relatively pain free event that did not identify a need to return for 6 months. Win. 1
Hopstretch Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah, if my mouth had been raped more often (with floss) I probably wouldn't have needed the root canal, Nate. But I am of British ancestry ...
shellylh Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 The one root canal I had was one of the most painful experiences of my life... she kept having to give me shots directly into the roots and it just wouldn't get numb. Sorry Stretch.
Hopstretch Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) One funny bit, from my very jocular South African dentist while fitting the rubber dam to isolate the tooth. "I'm just going to practice a bit of apartheid here, Mr. Clark, and then we'll go mining." Would have LOLed if I'd had less shit in my maw. Edited October 31, 2013 by Hopstretch
Grahame Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Was there an attractive dental hygenist bending over you to distract you, or did your jocular dentist have seemingly oversized hands and fingers just to make it more "fun"?
Dusty Chalk Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Seriously. I've always had one of those ridiculously good-looking dental hygenists with every dentist I've gone to, and most of them were not shy.
skullguise Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 Recover well, Stretch..... My dad is a dentist, and I remember one hygienist who was absolutely adorable. One cleaning, she was chatting with me and asked if I wanted to be a dentist like my dad. My smartass reply: "Nothing against you or the profession, but it's not my aim in life to put my hands in people's mouths and have them drool on me...." Thankfully, she laughed, and didn't do anything nasty with those sharp instruments she had!
shellylh Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 I am jealous. Of course, maybe the fear of pain will help me in the long run. I had to get one from grinding me teeth at night. You can be sure that, after that experience, I wear my mouthguard every single night now!
acidbasement Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 When I had an MRI they let me plug in an iPod in the control room and listen to my own music. The headphones sucked though - it was like the old airline headphones where the speaker is in the machine, and it uses a stethoscope like apparatus (air tubes) to transmit the music to your ears. That's what it's been for all of my MRIs. I assume because they can't use anything metal inside the machine, or even near it. They literally pipe in the music from outside the room. Three hour root canal? That's insane, Stretch. I think I have another one coming up in January - hope it doesn't take that long. They are unpleasant. Good news came to me today. I won $500 worth of work from a screw pile foundation company. Now, shall I start on a deck, or an outbuilding, or what? It doesn't really feel like winning, since the only way I get to collect the prize is to spend another pile of money on the superstructure of whatever the screw piles sit underneath.
cutestory Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 I had a quartz bowl sound bath at the Integratron. 1

agile_one Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Brent - very belated hug for all you are going through. Glad kids are good, and hope fault determination for accident goes your way. Todd - condolences on fil's condition, but as you said, and John reinforced, when it's time, it's time. Never easy, but life goes on. ^^^^ How so, Mike? I find it hard to believe that John would do such a thing. He is a pussycat.
tyrion Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 He left me for dead in the middle of the Everglades. Just started running and never saw him again. Left me for this gator.
skullguise Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Actually, is that him in a gator costume? EDIT: Jeffy, have heard of those, looks kind of interesting.....tell us more about the experience..... Edited November 2, 2013 by skullguise
agile_one Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 So, Mike ... are you saying you are now undead?
tyrion Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 While that is a great pic if me I did survive, despite John's best efforts. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
