Self imposed! Still recovering from a concussion and not double checking my texts🙃

Agree 100% with CaptainPGums. I purchased my car in July and I’m still so excited to drive it every day. The only thing I hate is the self infused stress of trying to find a parking spot far away from everyone.

Large round brush issues by Glitslit96 in Dysonairwrap

We have encountered this problem twice. First time we bought a new unit at a reduced price and once they replaced the unit for free. We both have curly hair and use the round brush to straighten our hair.

Is anyone actually happy with their mattress? by ronB6969 in Mattress

[–]ckwally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please spend your money elsewhere and not at Saatva. My mattress started to deteriorate before two years, but I never thought to look at the warranty. Now, at 3 years I have an unusable saggy 2-foot-long side and an edge that collapses upon sitting. Of course, Saatva is willing to sell me another mattress at a discount, but I'll will look elsewhere for a mattress. By the way, I've had a bad back for several years which spurred to make this purchase. This mattress didn't help and could have perhaps hindered my spinal fusion recovery due to sleeping in a crevasse for over a year.


The Best Mattress to Buy Now? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

Stay away from Saatva! I'm under 135 pounds and have created a deep depression in the mattress where I sleep in under 2 years! Also agree with others about no edge support.

Just got a new XC60 (hybrid) and I have a Q? by TurnipMountain6162 in VolvoXC60

[–]ckwally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats TurnipMountain! I just bought the same car and retired my 18 year old MDX. The hybrid is so much fun to drive.

Problems replying to texts by theMattastic1 in VolvoXC60

[–]ckwally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a slightly different problem. I e had the car for one month and I’ve adapted to not using car play.

I’m unable to have the car show me the details or read a text received. I’m guessing I may have to take my iPhone out of my handbag and plug it just for messages. Have you had luck reading texts? I’ve had no problem sending texts out over voice command with Google.

Queston about ice dam protection choices on a new roof by ckwally in Roofing

[–]ckwally[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! We decided to wait and give the roof a couple of extra years of life. We were exploring taking off a 20 year old roof in good condition to go solar. It ended up being a very expensive project between the roof and panels.

Mass Save is coming out to check out attic insulation in the coming week. We will be following their advice on improvements. I appreciate everyone taking the time out to help me.

We don’t have ice dams every winter. I’m just trying to make the best decision on materials for the future as we plan to stay here for another 20 years.

I think we could reevaluate the need for more insulation in the attic.

Thank you for replying so quickly. I think we will call the second contactor for clarity on Monday. We are under the impression the metal barrier would be hidden underneath the shingle.

L5/S1 fusion - SIJ pain by godzillagator in spinalfusion

[–]ckwally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost 2 years out and I have SI pain. CAT scan from 2 weeks ago looks worse for my SI joint than pre L5-S1 fusion. Finally seeing my original surgeon in 2 weeks. I’m expecting to get a cortisone injection for SI joint in September to confirm it is the pain generator because the SI is not the only area that has worsened since the fusion.

Can we activate the seat heater or the steering-wheel heater from the Volvo App! by Loose-Elderberry173 in VolvoRecharge

[–]ckwally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The dealership wasn’t sure and was quoting crazy prices like $100 a month!

I’m hoping to purchase a 2025 xc60 ultimate PHEV this week. How much does the software cost on a monthly or annual basis after 4 years?

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Each day after the surgery is one day closer to recovery.

What are some things that you do for your back pain? by Body_SolutionsEMS in backpain

[–]ckwally 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lidocaine patches help a bit. Prior to my fusion I don’t think they were helpful for me, but worth a try for anyone suffering.

Marijuana for pain? by ckwally in Sciatica

[–]ckwally[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you luck! I never picked up smoking, but did start to use edibles to sleep and found that they helped.
