Bdon,

Glad to hear it was a pretty painless fix. I had a SS Ampeg SVT head with a broken EQ slider. I thought it would be a plug n play fix until the replacement arrived and I saw that I would need to de-solder and then solder in the new one. It took my ears, nose,toes, fingers and all manner of prying things to accomplish this where a 2nd person would have made it a breeze. But I managed to get it, for one of my first amp repair jobs 20 years ago.

So anyway, in the last 10 years I've had to deal with the medical establishment more than I ever thought I'd have to. 2 knee replacements, pacemaker, stent. Last August my wife nearly died from a burst ulcer that rapidly toxified her entire system. Kidneys and liver shut down. She was hours from death when I got her to the hospital. She was in a coma for 4 days. The first 48 hours they couldn't tell me if she was going to live. When she woke up from the coma she had no recollection of what happened in the past month. To this day she still has memory problems. The point of this is that she had 2 surgeons and 5 attending doctors who were so reticent to inform me or her of her condition and what the endgame was going to be. This seems to be a trend of giving the patient (or caregiver) as little information as possible. You have to know the right questions to ask and it's horribly frustrating. Fortunately for me, her best friend was a 30 year ICU nursing supervisor and "nursed" me through the entire 4 weeks she was in the hospital. I demanded and received all of her records from admission and sent them to her. She decoded everything for me and coached me through all of the questions I would never have thought to ask. The lack of information seems to be a common thing nowadays as I've heard the same complaint from many other people.

Wow. Sorry late to the party!! Man so sorry to hear this and glad things have improved!!

Our GP is fantastic and explains everything very well. The odd specialist we have seen have been super too, especially the neurosurgeon as per my other thread. Any and all info you could need. Done simply amd patiently and slowly enough to have it sink in and not be too frightening.
It is too bad this isn't everywhere.

Hope there is continued progress, Jimi.
 
So Anyway...

I just had three molars extracted in preparation for dental implants.

One had to be cut into 4 pieces while still in the socket and then it still took the dentist 40 minutes to extract it!

Ibuprofen is not helping the pain on this one and I won't take anything stronger.
