It was getting to end where I was to refill. I though I was doing good. The next day I saw on the computer "discontued" because 16 pills was missing. So the nurse said Im in trouble and they are not allowed to give me anymore.
I take as directed 1-2 every 4 hours as needed. I take oxy 5's. I never got in trouble like this before.
Has anyone had this problem?View Thread
I met several people in the waiting room on my first visit to my orthopedic surgeon. We all chose to stay in touch to keep track of how we were all doing. Having done a lot of research, I chose to treat my issue non surgically, with stem cell and platelet procedures. Of the five people I have kept in touch with, two have had fusion surgery, one spinal stenosis surgery, one a lumbar decompression and one a discectomy. Of those 5 people, two have needed additional surgeries, and two have dealt with major complications. Happy to say one is fine and was greatly helped by her surgery! But given the fact that my procedures simply involved injections of my own stem cells and platelets from my own blood, I had no surgery, no revision surgery, no complications and almost no down time. The doctor that did my procedure, Dr. Chris Centeno, put out an incredible video today on understanding why our neck or back hurts and it is the clearest and most informative talk on the subject I have found. Definitely worth a look!

Also not one of these doctors has ever done anything to actually figure outs what is wrong with my back, they listen to me describe the pain then assume its muscle spasms and thats it. While I do believe its muscle spasms partially my actual spine does cause most of the pain that requires medication, the spasms I can treat through heat packs and laying down.View Thread

In the thoratic spine at the T5-T6 level there is a small enhancingleft paraspinal mass lesion measuring approx 2.6x1.7 cm in size. there is no extension into the spinal canal, but a nerve sheath tumor is favored-
at the 1L1 & L2 level ther is a thickening and or ossification of the legamentum flavum of the left without significant central spinal stenosis., but there appears to be multiple small enhancing cutaneous and sub cutaneous nodules throughout the back,most consistant with multiple small nerve sheath tumors or fibroma molluscum.
do i need to be worried? anytime i hear the word tumor i almost vomit.View Thread
They make me naueated somewhat and very sleepy. Asleep at 8 :00 last night and must have been in one position-woke with bad one sided neck pain. Back pain is easier! So, talked to the doctor and he suggested having my primary give me a script for muscle relaxer. That will also make me sleepy but hopefully will help with back spasms.
Sure hope I don't have more days like yesterday--just miserable. View Thread
Any tips on how to recover, the pain is at a stand still, some days I feel like a frail mess, other days I feel as if I have never been injured.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do to get a really good workout in? and to gain some of my mobility back?
Thanks much;)View Thread
I am moving alot better, and only take Tylenol for the most part, but do take 1/2 to one tablet of Percocette to sleep most nights. And on occasion during the day. Dr. said my body has had a bad 'blow' and will take awhile to heal. Makes sense--as I'm female and in my mid 70's.
Until now, was healthy from the 'neck down'. Have Meniere's (an inner ear disorder that makes me dizzy and I have to be careful with balance issues going on. First time I've fallen due to this however!
Trying to walk some and am moving better, but developed a really bad abdominal distension that made the back pain really bad all day a couple of days ago. Not due to constipation,it just happened! Made me so miserable. Wondering if anyone here has had the Kyphoplasty, and if so, how their progress has been? And how long before pain from the fall--if that was the cause--began to ease. Thanks for any comments.View Thread
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Please help.View Thread
You see, I am 40 years old and have had the L5/S1 Left herniation for close to eight months now--starting in June of 2014. I think I was injured because of overuse, running, spinning, kickboxing, ect. I have a surgery date of February 27, less than three weeks away. As the surgery approaches, I find myself wishing I was either a little worse off or a little better off, so would know whether or not to keep the date with the knife!
I have exhausted conservative measures: lots of PT, 3 epidurals, traction, cold laser, chiropractor, acupuncture, massage. In October, I had an MRI--mass effect on the nerve-- and the surgeon and I agreed to try conservative measures first. The next few months found me having several epidurals and two and a half months of three day a week, McKenzie method PT. In the end, I was kicked out of PT because my pain levels did not improve and the back bends stopped working--all the stretches seemed too brutal. My back strength and range of motion increased, but that wasn't enough for them. Right now, I walk one hour a day, at a slow pace, and I take private pilates (not what you think, just small movements for function and gentle, standing stretches.)
I take two Naproxen per 24 hours, and 1 Norco, and medical marijuana candy at night.
So, back in December, when I signed on for this surgery, I had numbness in my toes. I don't have that anymore. I still have leg pain, but it is manageable. I can walk. I can stand for two or so hours. But what I cannot do is sit.
Since I have tried the marijuana candy, I am sleeping through the night. So, less foot and leg pain and sleep has caused me to question whether or not I am healing on my own. Do I need surgery?
Here is what makes me think I still need the surgery: 1) Quality of life. While it is true that I am not in as much pain as I was before, I am also not sitting, driving, bending--living. My husband does the house work and makes the meals. So, my pain might have been worse before, but I was still trying to be a normal, functional person. The pain when I sit, is intense, in my thigh, buttocks, and back. Sometimes is so bad, I have to use my arm to push up so I can make it on a car ride home. 2) Drug. I feel freakin toxic. I have been taking Naproxen for 8 months! Yuk.
I spend most of my day laying on my stomach. I sit for car rides of half hour or less. I sleep on my stomach only. It's like I've figured out how to avoid the pain. I've gotten good at nonliving.
If you have had a successful microdiscectomy or know someone who has, can you tell me how you can to the right decision for your healing?View Thread
I am still recovering from all that happened and have to have a nurse come out daily to do wound care as I can not.
Long story I will try to make it simple.
Ostomy surgery went will was told I could go home 5 days later, but developed a rash for no reason that wouldn't go away so I was put on Prednisone 40mg a day.
Then I got an obstruction in my intestines from eating just 5 cut cooked carrots and 2 tsps. of potatoes. Food was pulled and tube put in nose down to stomach for 9 days.
Was told a could finally go home on the 30th of Dec. Next day I had an abscess rupture no going home - had minor surgery right there in my room. The large amount of daily Prednisone wiped out my immune system and that is how I got the infections.
On the 5th they found another abscess the size of a man's hand on the right side where the ostomy was - had emergency surgery and 3 large holes were made to drain the abscess.
The infections are now gone but I still have the holes that need to be filled with gauze and foam to help in healing. I sleep a lot and spend little time on the computer. I have what they call a wound vac that aides in closing up the larger cavities.
Within a couple of weeks I hope to be more active. DebbieView Thread
I thought it was a psoas issue but now I'm not so sure. I have no tingling in my legs or butt. The pain is localized to that specific area.
Because of it, I can't bend over straight, like touching my toes. However, I can bend over to the forward at angles and it seems to be fine.
In general, the entire area feels tight. I thought it was getting better and last night I put heat on it. This morning I got up and I thought I was going to die--for about 10 minutes it was very very bad in that specific area. Then, over the course of about a half hour it went away without me taking any pain relief.
Herniated disc? Muscle spasm? Pulled muscle or ligament? I'd like to know. ThanksView Thread
Here are my symptoms: Limited range of motion in lumbar spine, heel and toe pain, knee and ankle pain with slight swelling in my knee sometimes, shoulder pain(he thought frozen shoulder) painful bending forward, backward and sideways, stiffness, hip pain when sitting, severe pain when sitting up straight and I can not lay on my stomach because I get stuck due to the pain and stiffness and also the classic chest pains of AS.. I also have fatigue as well He says those are classic Ankylosing Spondylitis symptoms, but because I don't have any signs on film/MRI I can not be diagnosed with AS. I will be seeing him again next week to discuss my results, but I am going crazy trying to understand whats wrong with me. When I bend backward or flex my hips a certain way I can pin point the pain. It's directly in the dimples above the rear end.
What else could it be? I don't understand how my MRI could come back normal with so much pain for so many years. I know I'm not making it up and it's not in my head.View Thread

Water garden in ceramic pot
I've had a water garden in a ceramic pot for about 3 years. There's always been some problem.
-raccoons, pump problems, plant problems, algae problems.
This season, it's algae, big time. Stringy algae like underwater green spider webs, and bubbly algae that looks like floating fish eggs. I've been using some water treatment for algae control, but it does not seem to have had much effect.
I cleaned the pump last week, scooped out as much algae as I could, added a lot of fresh water. The algae really liked that, it multiplied really fast!
Suggestions to control the algae?
Scoop with a toilet bowl brush. Don't use the chemicals . Your water garden in a pot has to cycle just like a large pond. Sandy
I stumbled on a fix for string algae this year that worked well. I was using horticultural corn meal for fungus issues in my lawn and on the bag, among the other uses, string algae in ornamental ponds was listed. I tossed half a handful into my 110 gallon container that was a string algae nightmare and within a month or so, it was gone. Certainly not an overnight fix and the real test will be the cooler temps of the winter, but it did seem to work.
One thing that has worked for me is hydrogen peroxide. It's effective on string algae but not the free floating type.

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) History of DSL: The history of DSL is rather interesting. Initially, DSL was developed in the early 1990's by U.S. Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers. The original purpose for DSL was to deliver video over existing copper lines. NOTE: The copper lines that run from the phone company to residential or commercial areas are sometimes called the "local loops." In the early years of DSL, the economic benefit was not present. However, two key events raised the bar and, in turn, created a viable market for DSL. The first incident was the "dot com" boom of the mid 1990's. The second event was the enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The main step for the construction and infrastructure to support DSL technology was support by competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs). The competitive market of broadband was expanding and cable companies were gathering a large share of the market. Cable has always had a larger market share and is not losing ground to DSL because of the increasing number of cellular telephones. Consumers are canceling their land lines and using cell phones for long distance. Difference between Dial up and DSL Connection: Dialup 1. Occupy a phone line Phone line is used for either voice service or internet connection 2. Limited speeds of up to 56.6 Kbps made available through a telephone network and modem. 3. Have to dial an access number to connect to the internet. 4. Limited speed restricts download time. Exposed cables results in the possibility of damage. 5. Unique IP address for each connection 6. Chances of connectivity during peak hours is remote, Drawbacks include disconnections, repeated dialing and blocked telephone lines. 7. Connected using a computer modem 8. Easy setup, no setup fee 9. Low monthly fee -0- DSL 1. DSL Phone line is not affected by internet connection Simultaneous transmission of data (DSL) and voice or fax services. 2. Hi-Speed Internet: Speed of up to 2 Mbps. 3. Always on 4. Download is up to 10 times faster. Underground cables eliminate damage. 5. Static IP address (higher security risk) 6. Available when you need it. Easy to use, no dialing, no disconnections. Single-click connectivity, always online. 7. Connected through a DSL modem 8. Self installation is usually free. A setup fee is needed if installed by a technician. 9. Higher monthly fee XDSL: After traditional modems reached their peak data rate, telephone companies developed another technology, DSL, to provide higher-speed access to the Internet. Digital subscriber line (DSL) technology is one of the most promising for supporting high-speed digital communication over the existing local loops. DSL technology is a set of technologies, each differing in the first letter (ADSL, VDSL, HDSL, and SDSL). The set is often referred to as xDSL, where x can be replaced by A, V, H, or S. ADSL: A technology that transforms a normal copper telephone line into a high- speed digital line. This technology gives you always-on access to telephone services and the Internet at the same time. An ADSL line has a higher downstream speed (into the end user) than upstream speed (away from the end user). SDSL: SDSL stands for Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line. A version of DSL where the upload speeds and download speeds are the same. HDSL: High-bit rate Digital Subscriber Line. The earliest variation of DSL. It is used for wideband digital transmission within a business and between the -1- telephone company and a customer. HDSL is symmetrical meaning an equal amount of bandwidth is available in both directions. VDSL: VDSL (Very High Speed DSL) is a type of digital subscriber line, a new technology allowing more data to be sent over existing copper lines. It's not yet widely deployed as it is currently going through a standards issue. Define Upstreaming and Downstreaming? Upstreaming: The term Upstreaming means that to transfer digital data or computer software from a computer or other digital device to a server or another device. Downstreaming: Downstreaming is the method by which users access and save or "pull down" software or other files to their own computers from a remote computer, usually via a modem. Working of ADSL: In the implementation and deployment of a high-speed wide area public digital network, the most challenging part is the link between subscriber and network: the digital subscriber line. With billions of potential endpoints worldwide, the prospect of installing new cable for each new customer is daunting. Instead, network designers have sought ways of exploiting the installed base of twisted- pair wire that links virtually all residential and business customers to telephone networks. These links were installed to carry voice-grade signals in a bandwidth from zero to 4 KHz. However, the wires are capable of transmitting signals over a far broader spectrum – 1 MHz or more. ADSL is the most widely publicized of a family of new modem technologies designed to provide high-speed digital data transmission over ordinary telephone wire. ADSL is now being offered by a number of carriers and is defined in an ANSI standard. -2- ADSL Design: The term asymmetric refers to the fact that ADSL provides more capacity downstream (from the carrier's central office to the customer's site) then upstream (from customer to carrier). ADSL was originally targeted at the expected need for the video on demand and related services. This application has not materialized. However, since the introduction of ADSL technology, the demand for high speed access to the Internet has grown. Typically, the user requires far higher capacity for downstream than for upstream transmission. Most user transmissions are in the form of keyboard strokes or transmission of short e-mail messages, whereas incoming traffic, especially Web traffic, can involve large amounts of data and include images or even video. Thus ADSL provides a perfect fit for the Internet requirement. FDM: ADSL uses frequency division multiplexing (FDM) in a novel way to exploit the 1-MHz capacity of twisted pair. There are three elements of the ADSL strategy (Figure-a): 1) Reserve lowest 25 KHz for voice, known as POTS (plain old telephone service). The voice is carried only in the 0 to 4 KHz band; the additional band width is to prevent crosstalk between the voice and data channels. 2) User either echo cancellation or FDM to allocate two bands, a smaller upstream band and a larger downstream band. 3) Use FDM within the upstream and downstream bands. In this case, a single bit stream is split into multiple parallel bit streams and each portion is carried in a separate frequency band. -3- Echo Cancellation: Echo cancellation is a signal processing technique that allows transmission of digital signals in both directions on a single transmission line simultaneously. In essence, a transmitter must subtract the echo of its own transmission from the incoming signal to recover the signal sent by the other side. When echo cancellation is used the entire frequency band for the upstream channel overlaps the lower portion of the downstream channel. This has two advantages compared to the use of distinct frequency bands for upstream and downstream. The higher the frequency, the greater the attenuation. With the use of echo cancellation, more of the downstream bandwidth is in the "good" part of spectrum. The echo cancellation design is more flexible for changing upstream capacity. The upstream channel can be extended upward without running into the downstream; instead, the area of overlap is extended. The disadvantage of the use of echo cancellation is the need for echo cancellation logic on both ends of the line. DMT: The modulation technique that has become standard for ADSL is called the discrete multitone technique (DMT) which combines QAM and FDM. There is no set way that the bandwidth of a system is divided. Each system can decide on its bandwidth division. Typically, an available bandwidth of 1.104 MHz is divided into 256 channels. -4- Each channel uses a bandwidth of 4.312 kHz, as shown in Figure. Figure shows how the bandwidth can be divided into the following: Voice: Channel 0 is reserved for voice communication. Idle: Channels 1 to 5 are not used and provide a gap between voice and data communication. Upstream data and control: Channels 6 to 30 (25 channels) are used for upstream data transfer and control. One channel is for control, and 24 channels are for data transfer. If there are 24 channels, each using 4 kHz (out of 4.312 kHz available) with QAM modulation, we have 24 x 4000 x 15, or a 1.44-Mbps bandwidth, in the upstream direction. However, the data rate is normally below 500 kbps because some of the carriers are deleted at frequencies where the noise level is large. In other words, some of channels may be unused. Downstream data and control: Channels 31 to 255 (225 channels) are used for downstream data transfer and control. One channel is for control, and 224 channels are for data. If there are 224 channels, we can achieve up to 224 x 4000 x 15, or 13.4 Mbps. However, the data rate is normally below 8 Mbps because some of the carriers are deleted at frequencies where the noise level is large. In other words, some of channels may be unused. DSL Setup: Physical connection must come first. On the customer side, a DSL modem is hooked up to a phone line. The telephone company (Telco) connects the other end of the line to a DSLAM, which concentrates a large number of -5- individual DSL connections into a single box. The location of the DSLAM depends on the Telco, but it cannot be located too far from the user because of attenuation, the loss of data due to the large amount of electrical resistance encountered as the data moves between the DSLAM and the user's DSL modem. It is common for a few residential blocks to be connected to one DSLAM. When the DSL modem powers up it goes through a sync procedure. The actual process varies from modem to modem but generally involves the following steps: 1. The DSL modem performs a self-test. 2. The DSL modem checks the connection between the DSL transceiver and the computer. For residential variations of DSL, this is usually the Ethernet (RJ-45) port or a USB port; in rare models, a FireWire port is used. Older DSL modems sported a native ATM interface (usually, a 25 Mbit serial interface). Also, some variations of DSL (such as SDSL) use synchronous serial connections. 3. The DSL modem then attempts to synchronize with the DSLAM. Data can only come into the computer when the DSLAM and the modem are synchronized. The synchronization process is relatively quick (in the range of seconds) but is very complex, involving extensive tests that allow both sides of the connection to optimize the performance according to the characteristics of the line in use. External or stand-alone modem units have an indicator labeled "CD", "DSL", or "LINK", which can be used to tell if the modem is synchronized. During synchronization the light flashes; when synchronized, the light stays lit, usually with a green color. The accompanying figure is a schematic of a simple DSL connection. The left side the shows a DSLAM residing in the Telco's central office. The right side shows the customer premises equipment. -6- Comparison of xDSL Alternatives: Table shows a summary of DSL technologies. Note that the data rate and distances are approximations and can vary from one implementation to another. Brief Explanation of xDSL Types: ADSL: The asymmetric part of the name refers to the fact that downstream transfer rates are higher than the upstream transfer rates (In the case of home service, you can download data faster than upload). The data rate of ADSL is dependent on the distance from the CO. ADSL can operate at 8 Mbps downstream at 9000 ft, and 1.544 Mbps at 18000 ft. -7- Downstream rates peak at 640 kbps. ADSL operates at frequencies of 30 kHz to 1.1 MHz, leaving the lower frequencies available for Plain Old Telephone service (POTS). ADSL runs over a single pair of wires, and so can be run almost anywhere there is phone. A variant of ADSL called G.Lite has a lower peak data rate (1.544 mbps), but is more tolerant to line noise and is easier to install. HDSL: The high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (HDSL) was designed as an alternative to the T-1line (1.544 Mbps). The T-1line uses alternate mark inversion (AMI) encoding, which is very susceptible to attenuation at high frequencies. This limits the length of a T-l line to 3200 ft (1 km). For longer distances, a repeater is necessary, which means increased costs. HDSL uses 2B1Q encoding, which is less susceptible to attenuation. A data rate of 1.544 Mbps (sometimes up to 2 Mbps) can be achieved without repeaters up to a distance of 12,000 ft (3.86 km). HDSL uses two twisted pairs (one pair for each direction) to achieve full-duplex transmission. SDSL: The symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) is a one twisted-pair version of HDSL. It provides full-duplex symmetric communication supporting up to 768 kbps in each direction. SDSL, which provides symmetric communication, can be considered an alternative to ADSL. ADSL provides asymmetric communication, with a downstream bit rate that is much higher than the upstream bit rate. Although this feature meets the needs of most residential subscribers, it is not suitable for businesses that send and receive data in large volumes in both directions. VDSL: The very high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL), an alternative approach that is similar to ADSL, uses coaxial, fiber-optic, or twisted-pair cable for short distances. The modulating technique is DMT. It provides a range of bit rates (25 to 55 Mbps) for upstream communication at distances of 3000 to 10,000 ft. The downstream rate is normally 3.2 Mbps. -8-

Water in middle of basement floor
We found water in the middle of our basement floor this morning. The evidence is that it is coming up through the cement. The amount is relatively small (a thin puddle a foot or so in diameter). There are no pipes in the area, no signs of leakage from other areas, and no cracks in the concrete. To my knowledge this has never happened before in the 16 years I have owned the house - even in the monsoon year, 1993.
It has been extremely cold here and for a long time. I've been told it is the worst cold snap in 60 years.
I've heard that there are springs in the area could water from one of them be coming up? - farfetched but the most plausible theory I can come up. Other ideas?
David, in Iowa City.
Got any pets? Small children? :)
Could the water have been there for some time? I.e. it trickled from another part of the basement (near pipes, cracks, corners etc), and pooled in the lowest spot where it's taking longer to dry than the tail it might have left.
Good call on the pets (we have three cats) but it definitely was just water this time. Also a good idea on drying up to the lowest point - there was absolutely no sign of this however. We have been monitoring and the good news is that the water has not reappered in the last five days so we are crossing our fingers. Thanks all.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow!

So Annoying ! by Annoyed Student - 01/04/2012
This is not one of my favorite colleges. The teachers do not help much at all, when calling the school for questions they connect you to other people so they don't have to help...which they end up putting you with a answering machine, that's if you get through on the phone. Most of the time you end up calling and all it does is rings rings and rings ! Also the employees that work at student services are very annoyed they have to help you and not friendly at all !

The Tipi
Traditional Native American Shelters
"There were fifty tents made of tanned hides, very bright red and white in color and bell-shaped, with flaps and openings, and built as skillfully as those of Italy," described Don Juan de Onate in his report on a Spanish expedition to the American Southwest in 1599.
This book is an introduction to the dwelling structure best known by the Sioux word "tipi." The text—examining tipi life in the Native American Indian tribes of four distinct geographic areas—is drawn from a variety of published sources and is accompanied by numerous photographs, most gathered by the author over the course of what he terms "a forty-year life-long project."
Hungrywolf has written more than fifty books—on nature, Native cultures, history, and railroading—many while homesteading with his family in the Canadian Rockies. For more than three decades, he has been a student of the traditional ways of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the heritage of his wife and sometimes co-author, Beverly. He presents narrative from sources as diverse as Spanish explorers, a fur trader with the North-West Company in 1804, the recollections of Buffalo-Bird-Woman (born about 1840 in the Hidatsa culture), and German explorer and naturalist Prince Maximilian of Wied during his 1832—1833 expedition.
It's interesting to note the basic similarities among the distinct tribes: the sleeping arrangements of family members in the tipi, the reverence and ceremony associated with the designs and symbols painted on the tipi, and the relationship between females and their home. For example, according to one anthropological source cited, in the Plains Cree culture, "Women made the tipi, set it up, owned it. Therefore, a man had to get his wife's consent to have a picture of his spirit helper drawn on the tipi cover." Meanwhile, in the Flathead tribe of the Northern Rockies, "The women made and in theory owned the tents."
There's a taste of rich history here, but it's only presented in bites of tempting background information; it leaves the reader wanting to sample (and learn) more. A small list of definitions might have been useful, but the sources cited and the in-depth index are very helpful.
Added bonuses include very detailed explanations of the photos included, and sections on specific subjects such as painted tipis, sweat lodges, and how to build a tipi. The tipis seen by Spanish explorers in 1599 so intrigued the visitors that de Onate reported, "The Sergeant Mayor bartered for a tent and brought it" back with him.

After winning Record of the Year during yesterday's Brit Awards, singer Adele found her acceptance speech cut short by host James Corden after the live show began to run late. Upset by the interruption, Adele left the stage, but not before gesturing with her middle finger to the cameras.
Backstage, the singer explained that the gesture was for 'the suits' and not her fans or the other artists in attendance. Adele told Britain's daily newspaper The Sun, "I flipped the finger but it wasn't to my fans. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, it was the suits that offended me."
It's been a month of success for Adele. Before returning to the Brit Awards stage this week, Adele took home six Grammy's on February 12 and saw a jump of over 730,000 units sold for her album 21, bringing the total to 7,353,000 copies of the album sold in the US alone since its release. With numbers like that I don't think I'd be flipping off anyone.
