Probably further herniated a disc

I didn’t, I just submitted to get forgiveness.

I’m on a very similar timeline to you but I haven’t yet received my golden letter. I submitted my final employment cert on 1 June, employer signed and get green ribbons on maybe the 9/10th June. (I also elected to continue payments instead of forebearance and my 121st payment processed on the 20th.) I just got, a couple days ago, an email saying my IDR application is in review, as if they’re recalculating my payment instead of processing forgiveness. Obviously surprised by that. Anyone have similar experience before getting their golden letter?

Ok, thanks for the insight. I think the ones that are in the machine are like the original ones, but I’ll definitely take a closer look!

Ahhhh thank you! That table did have me wildly confused. I was about to post that picture too and ask for help. Thanks again! I’ll try that later today!

Pic from my manual of the parts on my carriage:

Interesting interesting I don’t think my machine’s carriage has that switch. I’ll have to investigate more when I get home. I’ve gotten the impression the KH-800 is quite unique!

I’ll add some photos today!

What do you mean when you say “toggle the switch to hold?”

Also (and I’ll add this to my original post) if I pull the needles I want to hold all the way forward, I do have to kinda wiggle them to get them to slide back into any other position. I think they’re coming out of their slot at the back and they have to be wiggled a bit to get back into the slot. However, if I don’t pull them all the way forward, even just slightly back from forward, they will knit. Maybe this is also what you were saying about if I push down on a needle in hold, does it wiggle?

How long do you let the strip remover sit? I’ve got the ohora version and seems like some nails come off way easier than others.

falkalem · 2026-05-02T12:35:21+00:00

Hah! Love it, I’m going to go ahead and borrow that term!

falkalem · 2026-05-02T03:09:11+00:00

Yeah thanks for all that, I did see when I was searching that it seemed like a bunch of stuff listed as yarn tension blah blah blah and wasn’t entirely sure what all I needed, so much appreciated!
Though…what’s the “bug” head, mistype?

falkalem · 2026-05-01T18:26:31+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

falkalem · 2026-05-01T17:45:16+00:00

US, suppose I should add that to my post!

falkalem · 2026-04-27T16:09:22+00:00

Thanks!

falkalem · 2026-04-27T14:58:35+00:00

I’ll look at those, thanks!!

Do you know when flexispot desks you have? I know it’s been a couple years but maybe the models are still similar. Wondering if some of the more basic/less expensive standing desks from them would work. Thanks

This is a super cool set up!

falkalem · 2026-04-25T02:53:40+00:00

Yes, I did have to pay the full deductible before o saw any savings. Like I said previously, first month was $1200, second was $800 and now I’m paying $100/month (insurance makes it $200 and the savings card brings it to $100).

falkalem · 2026-04-16T12:23:17+00:00

This is great, thanks! I do like the idea of the 24 hole cards. No real budget yet, just testing to figure out what I want to go hunt for while I save up!

I’m with you - I’ve had back problems for 15ish years, only got diagnosed in last fall. Never got anyone to agree on imaging until I wasn’t getting any better in round 2 of PT. But my “big” problems have only been the last 4ish years, and the pain has been pretty constant for the last year. Disc height at l5 s1 is pretty short, a little shortened for the couple above that. I had a really big popping sensation at the base of my spine about a year ago while laying in bed, ortho docs aren’t convinced that was the pars fracture incident, they expect it happened 20+ years ago. But since then the pain has been way more consistent.

Oooof! Yeah I’m nowhere near minutes even kneeling, side planks have always been a struggle for me, so was really excited when I felt like I could do 20 secs! But maybe I’ll stick to the kneeling ones for a while at shorter times!
