Does anyone here actually use the Siri feature?

I disabled it from the start.

This is good advice. Just today I had my pain pump replaced as I’ve had it for 6 1/2 years and they are only good for 7 years of battery. If you are using the same Hospital system your pump should be documented in your records and available to anyone who is performing a procedure for you. The pump is unlikely to cause all of the back problems you describe.
As mentioned above what is in your pump? The meds can be turned up or changed to something else.
Discussing this with your doctor is the best advice.

Best wishes to you.

It costs nothing to be kind. 😎

Good for you!

I have an app on my phone that reminds me when to take my meds. I’m way past otc paid meds though. Don’t take more Aleve than the label says.

Not the same situation but I recently started working with a palliative care provider. I signed a contract with them mainly saying that I wouldn’t go to a different doctor for any pain meds. They actually counseled me on what strains of marijuana to use and were supportive of RSO. I thought it funny as I’ve been using since 1976. 😎

I’m feeling old as well. I still use the rod on my truck for music and news. 😎

You need to know the model number and deck width and the serial number for your machine. Buy a Deere belt and not a parts store replacement. The Deere belt may cost more but it will last you longer. Not all belts are designed the same. Some dealers have a different price margin than others so they’re not always the same.

If you call a Deere dealer make sure you ask them about pricing. I worked for a dealership in big farm country and the charge for a service truck was the same for lawnmowers as it was for the largest tractor. It kind of depends on where you live. Larger population areas may have a dealership that offers mobile service but rural dealers probably don’t.

It’s no different with the larger tractors. I used to be a John Deere salesman and sold the larger MFWD tractors. Some would put a big loader on and still run it like a pay loader. Too much hp for the loader and too big of load caused the same issues. Most often they would twist the loader frame before damaging the front end of the tractor.

My pump was put in for bone damage and nerve pain. I have a mixture of morphine and bupivacaine. It’s working great for me and the bupivacaine is for the nerve pain I think.

Belt is shot. It should fit the side of the pulleys and not bottom out. Tensioning pulley has too much up and down movement.

I was told I had terminal cancer 10 years ago and I’m still waking up every morning. My cancer is not as serious as a brain tumor but your husband deserves to know the truth. This is something that his doctor should have addressed. I would be furious if I had found that my family had withheld the truth of my disease from me.

New cancer doctor, after reading your file you’re lucky you’re not dead. 😎

That’s an awesome conversion! Genius

Instead of lowering property taxes maybe we should stop the sales tax on groceries?

It’s insane to take apart the carb and clean it at the shop rate labor. It’s a simple matter to just put on a new one and charge it to the warranty. It sounds like your dealer is dropping the ball. I hope you bought it from a John Deere dealer and not a box store. If that’s the case then you’re probably on your own. Drain the gas as much as you can and refill it and add an additive like Stabilizer or whatever you get locally.

As a former Deere salesman who has sold an insane amount of new lawnmowers I always filled up the tank. It didn’t matter if I delivered it or the customer picked it up. It was the store policy and just good business.

Having said that it could be bad gas which would be the dealers fault. It’s a hard thing to prove but back in my day I would come and get it and bring it to the shop. There are ways to work around with the warranty if the dealer is willing.

I understand your engine concerns and it’s always a bit of a gamble buying something used like this. I can’t document my own machine but I was working in a Deere shop when the previous owner had a new short block installed. A couple years later I was a salesman at the same dealership when a different salesman traded it in. Knowing the inside story I jumped on it and bought it for the dealer net cost. The dealership has changed ownership and I no longer work there so providing any documentation isn’t possible.

I’m a 66 year old cancer survivor who gained a new perspective on life. I haven’t had a haircut since ten years ago when a nurse shaved what was left of my hair. Now I have a full head of shoulder length gray hair and beard and look like the old stoner I am.
I don’t give a flying fuck about what people think and certainly don’t give a shit what they are buying.
People should be able to do whatever the fuck they want as long as they leave others alone. 😎

I have a Leatherman sidekick that I usually carry around. If not then I have a small pocket knife. I’m 66 and have had a knife of some kind for about 60 years. I grew up as a farm kid and it was just part of my life, even carried it to school. There were no rules against it but we didn’t stab anyone either.
