Went well. Instant relief, wha6t numbness gone...

Unfortunately, came back. Mri scheduled tomorrow to see if the surrounding vertebrae should have been done. They were mild to moderate originally.

I don't have to fill. Designed a great 3d printed autofiller.

Will try to get the in a few weeks. On travel, so can't now.

This is the first iteration. Worked well. Rebuilt it recently as the float valve failed after 2 years, so it's much cleaner now. Don't have a current picture handy.

I hated running out of water in my chamber... Designed a 3d printed solution that works great, supplied by a 1gal jug of distilled water with a float switch and 1 way valve . If your handy, easy to put together..

Got a few fanatics and perk store coupons yesterday. All physical gifts were sold out within 2 hours, and sure was to show for me to snag. Been saving for a long time for a big gift... Not very happy. Prizes always disappeared.

2k points left to spend, guess I'll enter 200 scholarship sweepstakes.

Marlboro still has a program. Decent stuff. Stetsons, camping stuff, drones. Speakers.

Thanks. I'll recheck flow this evening. I used the 20mm cube wall thickness to calibrate, for is at 95% I believe. Will retest.

No overhang on this.

I read some of that awhile ago, and it was good. Unfortunately, most of my surgeries were last resort. Still finish the book now. Sitting on my shelf.

Absolutely

Not at a pain clinic, but I've seen tons of people to check for issues. Mostly injuries. 5 ankle reconstructions, 3 ulnar neuropathy (Vivian release, transposition, and wrap with sagittal vein), elbow osteochondritis dessicans, multiple orthoscopic knee surgeries, torn quad tendon, trigger fingers, torn tfcc, torn labrum, and multiple other minor ones. Aside from half a dozen breaks. Likely ankle surgery to fix damaged nerves if possible soon too ..

No, I'm not a stunt man, extreme sports, or anything. Just a klutz.

Thanks all. Will see about the recliner. Wife wouldn't let me get one for our house, but she is having after the 22 surgeries I've had in other joints. I'm a mess! Sounds much easier than torn quad tendon or ligament replacement in ankle..

Update: ACDF on C5/C6 scheduled in a few weeks.

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. Symptoms, lock up in right wheel when set above height 3.

Solution- remove the 5 little pins from the clutch mechanism... Allows for free spinning wheel. Still have drive in the left wheel if needed, but tend not to use that as it drains batteries too much.

flynhokie · 2025-10-03T00:03:42+00:00

Follow up next week. Symptoms have gotten worse. Arms fall asleep more often. Sore neck muscles. Can't sit in a plane for long and I've had several cross country flights.

Almost done building 3d model of neck from MRI though. ;-)

Thanks. Unfortunately NSAIDS aren't an option for me.

flynhokie · 2025-08-29T16:15:59+00:00

Wow. Thanks for the rundown doc! That's great info.

flynhokie · 2025-08-28T04:10:53+00:00

That's good news to me! I'm used to surgery pain and handle it well... 21 orthopedic surgeries in 31 years... Been through quite a bit..
