Have been back to work since a week after the surgery. Am up in Jackson Hole this week(no complaints from this person!) doing alot of sound upgrades, so perhaps next week. What kinda big screen is it?

As he was getting ready for his operation I was keeping an eye out on yours. I figured if yours turned out OK that his would too. And, as things turned out, everything's okay. One thing, though... He had some strange postsurgical bruising. Have you noticed anything like that? (This bruising is such that, if you did have any, you WOULD notice it! )  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-21-2005 09:28 PM                     Well, I lucked out on the brusing but I still have some swelling under the incisions accompanied by some pain that cannot be controled even with 800 mg of Ibuprofen. This occurs by about 3 pm in the day and is worse on some days than others. So after that time I take it easy if at all possible. Things really started to improve on a daily basis 2-1/2 weeks after the surgery. My incisions have healed up pretty well so far with no complications at all, have had no black and blue at all. I can now pea like a running fire hydrant again ! I installed two SRD sound systems and moved a DTS6 and processor to another theatre in Jackson Hole, WY this past week but had help from the good folks there in lifting anything heavy.... over about 15 pounds This was a good recovery job to get back into the swing of things. When I got back home today I had received the doctors bills. Not so bad really... about a grand for the left side and 1100.00 for the right side which was the larger of the two hernias. The anestatist's bill was abother 640.00. I have 80/20 insurance and a 500.00 deductable and the insurance(Intermountain Health) paid all but about 640.00 of everything... and that includes the 500 deductable! So things are not so bad there. Hope your dad gets back in the swing soon and starts feeling better!!

The way I look at it, your case is like the proverbial canary in the mine shaft. If you get through it all right, he will too. So, I'm doubly glad to hear that your recovery is going well.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-22-2005 10:44 AM                        It's an Hitachi Ultravision model 5OUX7B, manufactured 1991. Yeah, its old, doesn't have hdtv (can't afford one just yet, plus I may go a different route anyway), but it USED to do the job. Right now I can't even get to it, it is buried behind the pool table, which really pisses me off because I NEED to play pool or I will die. It's a rare medical condition known as Imaykadastuffupaditis. I am HOPING and PRAYING that I can get to at least the pool table by next saturday for memorial day weekend, so I can chill with a beer, a game of pool, and a soak in the hot tub for a few days. By then I should have the tv out from the corner. The problem with it is, apparently, that it has a red dot on the image, and sometimes wont even power up the image. any ideas? ciao  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-22-2005 12:34 PM                     Hi Mark Hope all's well and a SPEEDY RECOVERY!
