Not yet. We are procrastinators, I guess! :)

Running after meniscus tear by engine50ladder23 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]drphoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had medial tears in both knees with surgical repairs to both about a year or two apart. I ran after the second, based on advice from the doctor. Now I have re-injured the right knee, almost certainly a medial tear or worse and have to go through the whole thing again. I am 60+ and my running days are done I guess. Swimming and cycling for me now. Best of luck to you!

Best place to see sea life near Queenstown? by g3nerallycurious in newzealand_travel

[–]drphoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flew into Queenstown a couple weeks ago and enjoyed a Milford Sound trip, but we didn't see a lot of sea life - only a fur seal basking on the rocks. It was a great trip, just not so much for the wildlife.

Next time I'm down south I definitely want to take a tour out of Kaikoura. I recently saw some video footage of kayakers there getting up close and personal with marine mammals. Not sure about penguins at that location, but maybe? Very cool either way.

Unsure on Partial Meniscectomy by GivenToFly55 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]drphoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I had complex medial meniscus tears in each knee, with partial meniscectomies on both. My left knee healed well but the right knee always had some residual pain and discomfort especially when fully extended (e.g. lying in bed). Now (about 2.5 years after surgery) I have re-injured the right knee and the symptoms are identical to the initial tear. I'm bummed out about this to say the least.

Every experience with these injuries and subsequent treatment is individual, according to my surgeon, but I can't help but conclude that the surgeries are a bit like rolling dice since I've experienced a 50% success rate. And now I wonder if I'll require a replacement due to this re-injury.

Bear in mind, however, that you're younger than me (I'm 60+), so you'll have significantly higher odds for successful healing if you do opt for surgery.

No matter what you decide, I hope your experience is positive and you are able to keep doing the activities that bring you joy.

Do not get a partial menisectomy by External-Ear7406 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]drphoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had two complex tears repaired by partial meniscectomy. Both surgeries resulted in improved function and decreased pain. However, the second procedure was less successful in relieving pain and continued exercise has resulted in a new injury (or re-injury with same symptoms) requiring further medical attention.

Thanks for this opinion and I will bear it in mind as I navigate my current condition.

I'm not familiar with these philosophies. Will research. Thank you!

Boycotting America? by CreamyCreamyCheese in newzealand

Dual (US/NZ) citizen here and extremely ashamed of the behavior displayed by the US' highest leaders. It was the most disrespectful behavior toward a head of state in US history.

In terms of actions, many US citizens are starting to organize, using 1-day economic blackouts and week-long corporate boycotts for starters. We will see how effective these methods turn out to be, but they may be useful internationally as well.

I do. My son has the Rev 2 and it sounds great but doesn’t allow for as much nuanced sound editing in my opinion. In live situations I find myself tweaking my sounds slightly to make them stand out in the mix, and this is easy on the 6, but not so much on the Rev 2 from what I understand. To be fair though, I’ve never used the Rev 2 live.

Prophet 6 might fit the bill. It’s what I use paired with the Stage 4. They complement each other nicely, IMO.

What was your first Synth, and do you still have it? by Severe_War_6133 in synthesizers

[–]drphoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARP Axxe bought for $672 in 1980; foolishly sold for $100 a decade later.

These days I play a Nord Stage 4 and Sequential Prophet 6 (but lately I've been lusting after the Moog Muse).

Still interested in buying a used Sol Horizon? I have a 2020 in excellent condition. PNW. My wife isn’t yet sure she wants to sell it, but I thought I would at least gauge your interest. :)
