need advice

Question:

I had both at one point, but had the SCS (after having both together over a year) removed as it was not really helping anymore. I had the Medtronics SCS and an Arrow pump. I don’t know if two Medtronic units are compatable because of frequencies on the controlers, but they may have info on that at their website.

Response:

Jim, Did you try calling Medtronic and asking them? I know whenever I had questions about my SCS, they were always very willing to help. Even connected me to the Rep. Robin I am *not* a Medical Doctor (MD) or *any* type of Medical Professional. PLEASE consult your own Dr. for medical advice. The information posted is what I have learned from researching or personal experiences. Remove "NOSPAM" from addy to email me.

Throw in one large metal leg brace and you hear the words "step over into this special area for me". And then try to tell them that when they pat you down they can’t touch your leg because the RSD makes it hypersensitive. I’ll be glad when they switch all the airports over to the Feds and pay a little better. It should improve the screeners attitudes. I hope.LOL sz

WB, I know when I was getting ready to have my SCS implanted, I knew I was going to be going out of town, and would have to go through the metal detectors at the airport. I told my Drs. nurse I was concerned about setting off the detector, and she said (jokingly), "Call the airport, let them know, and see if you can choose who pats you down."

You might want to consider Volmax as a subsitute for Uniphyl, that solved the problem for me. Sounds like you need to call you doctor.

Response:

Keep the side effects…they can be dealt with on an individual basis…wheezing and feeling bad all the time is the least of what could happen. Spending time in the hospital is a distinct possibility. Call your specialist back, he may not be able to see you until Jan. but if you report the side effects he can change the medication or the dosage before then. rainbird (who is yes addicted to certain things…breathing, eating and sleeping being some of them) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Lots of people have told me that there are side effects >but i now feel so well that i do not want to go back to being wheezy.

Response:

When I started uniphyl I had violent side effects. All of them However they went away in about a week. I have since switched to t-phyl. Same drug, same company, just in 200mg tablets and it is a twice a day drug. Which means around the clock coverage not just that boost at 4:00AM. I also find 700mg a favorable dosage whereas 800 on either uniphyl or t-phyl I am flying. You might consider asking for a script for t-phyl and taylor the dosage yourself if it ok with your doc. Mine lets me do that except when attacks start(prednisone and neb every 3-4hrs) then 800 is recommended.and lots of xanax. Mitch

Response:

One I’d recommend is Jorma Kaukonen’s "Rock, Blues and Beyond" from Homespun video – if you’re into that kind of thing. It’s pretty simple stuff (almost all pentatonic based) but he shows you that it’s not so much what you know, but what you do with it that makes a difference.

Response:

Lyn-Del Thanks for your input, too bad you just can’t wave a magic wand!! I had an Aussie before Elliott. His name was Sparky. I took him to be neutered in August and he died during surgery. I am having a hell of a time getting over him, he was my best friend, my body guard and my pride and joy. Its hard to get past this. I’m probably going to have Elliott neutered this month, if I can go through with it. I am using a different vet. I have decided one of the problems I’m having with Elliott is my inconsistancy, I have to work on that. He’s been pretty good over the past few days, I have been using the advice from others on the group. Thanks again, Ellen

: Hello! : I have a 7 month old Australian Shepherd puppy who is tearing up my yard : and garden. He’s got holes all over the yard. Then, he comes in the : house and drags mud all over the carpets. Any suggestions??? : Ellen Well, yes. It seems that you got a dog without much thought to how you would keep it. In order for this relationship to work, you’re going to have to set up your living space to support an active puppy. He should have a paved play area where he is safe, won’t dig and won’t get excessively dirty. You’ll either need to build a paved dog run, or other penned area to contain your pup. Keep your dog with you, supervised as much as possible. When you can’t watch him, keep him either crated indoors, or in his play area. Do not leave him loose in the garden or yard alone. Don’t let him play in muddy places. Wait ’til spring when the ground dries out a bit before you let him play in the grass. You might also want to put up a baby gate to keep him out of carpeted areas if he’s wet or very dirty. — Elaine Gallegos

I’m sorry, I just have to point out the obvious . . . He won’t dig up the yard and garden if he’s not outside unsupervised for long periods of time. A towel or ten kept by the back door to wipe him off when he comes in will reduce the amount of mud all over the rugs. I know this is not the answer you want. You want the miracle secret word that will turn him into the perfect gentleman who will stay outside for days on end without getting into mud, etc. The bad news is that you have a PUPPY, and puppies, like young children, delight in entertaining themselves in the messiest manner possible. The answer to the problem involves supervised yard time, on leash if necessary to prevent digging behaviours, and plenty of constructive exercise — playing fetch, obedience work, long walks, etc. Good luck–baby Aussies are fun! Almost as much fun as grown-up Aussies! Lyn-Del

There was nothing not nice about the reply to that post. Whether they are form another culture or not. Common sense says that if your dog runs away you either tie it or train it.

Response:

Hello, could anyone please give me an advice? My wife and I are planning to stay for 2-3 months next winter (dec/jan/feb) in Australia, amongst other reasons, to escape the terrible Norwegian winter up here.(!) So I start planning now. We want to rent a house/villa/cottage etc. with prime location, situated directly on a splendid beach, with veranda/porch etc. As we are staying 2-3 months, it would also be nice to find a place that is not too expensive. We would preferrably stay in a dry zone, as we are starved for blue skies and sun at that time of the year. Maybe preferrably Western Australia, but that is not a must. I would appreciate all good advices, and I thank you in advance. Any personal experience would be very interesting. Best greetings, Brynjulf Barexstein, Norway

Response:

Hi Brynjulf Do you really want to travel all the way to Australia and stay in the one place for 2-3 months. Australia is a huge country and I think I would plan to move around a bit more than that. You might stay for 1 month in Western Australia, cross the Nullabor and stay a month in South Australia or Victoria and then move on to NSW for another month. You may find it very hot if you go too much further north than Brisbane at that time of the year. Also, keep in mind that it is school holidays and our summer holidays at that time and it could be quite expensive to rent accommodation. Also you would need to book. Julie

Response:

Our summer is the wet season in the tropics [north of Rockhampton] so avoid Cairns, Broome and Darwin. The Perth area would be a good choice, but there are also great places in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. If you plan to stay the whole 3 months in the one location, you would find a greater variety of sights in the Sydney and Melbourne areas. Geoff Lillico

I agree with the suggestion to move a couple of times – there are lots of apartments to rent at Manly (beachside suburb of Sydney) They get expensive after Christmas but English friends got a good rate for the entire month of December last year (around $700 – $1000 per week). This was a privately owned unit in a secure block with pool etc but no concierge or cleaning services. I’d also recommend a few days or a week at a self-catering cottage in the Hawkesbury Valley (riverside would be nice) or Blue Mountains. Lots to choose from at www.hawkesburyvalley.com Vicki

Response:

my astro van needs a head gasket, there is water in the oil. My predicament is that cold weather is comeing. I may want to sell it although it’s hard because I don’t think I’ll get alot for it. If I fix it, I’m concerned there could be some engine damage. I would think a mechanic could tell if there was any obvious damage like warping. My mechanic said there is no way to tell for sure, not sure if he was trying to cover for himself on doing the work, but I don’t know. Maybe metal fatigue could have set in ? Anyway When the problem occured I drove the car for many miles stoping to add water every 5 minutes. I kept the engine running while adding water and at times the heat was rising on the guage before adding water. I probably added 20 gallons that way. I probably shouldn’t have done that but was freaked out about the whole thing and not thinking rationaly. A guy at a gas station had told me to just drive it and add water as you go and see how far you get. Anyway, right now my biggest concern is that the winter freeze may be bad for the car. Will it cause damage even if the car is not started ? Should I try to add anti freeze ? I’m not sure if the car will start but some water will still be in the engine chamber anyway. I bought a truck but it’s very depressing.

Response:

If you have any doubts about getting your money back out of the car then I suggest that you at least tear the top of the engine off and have the heads magnafluxed to see if they are cracked ($20 or so). If they aren’t then towing it to a mechanic (assuming that you cant do the work yourself) to have a new head gasket put in wont be all that expensive. If they are cracked then you are in trouble. If the heads are ok but you drove the car anyway letting water in the oil you will destroy the engine which would suck since its not that expensive to replace head gaskets after tear down. At any rate add antifreeze and run the car for SHORT time to get the antifreeze in the block (if it has none). This will save it if you get a major freeze. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> my astro van needs a head gasket, there is water in the oil. My predicament is > that cold weather is comeing.

This is just my opinion, based on guesswork, not on fact…. Although I love ‘toos, I don’t think they would be good canidates for ’second’ birds. They’re such little attention hogs!

Dirty and Desperate Dear D&D, If my brief experience as a turtle custodian is any evidence, those babies are filthy, and I’d bet that’s what is keeping your pond dirty. It got to the point as our little Turtle Girl was growing that I had to change her tank every day even with a filter! Alas, she was murdered by my beloved dog, and I miss her still. BUT, most ponds are green during the spring, and they get brown when there is rain or any sort of disturbance, which I imagine your turtles provide, in the sediment which is at the bottom of the pond. I know T.G. liked to wander around on the bottom of her tank and look for any forgotten morsels, and your turtles probably do the same. That keeps it stirred up and mucky. It also releases nutrients for your algae. You will have to get LOTS of plants, which your turtles will eat as fast as they can. My suggestion, FWIW, is to make a separate pond for the turtles, fence them in, and be prepared to drain it periodically and refill. The good news is that they don’t need water conditioners. They are fine in chlorinated water. Good luck. — Signed, Kellie My Karma Ran Over My Dogma. It was a catastrophe! Now my dogma’s dead and my karma’s out of alignment. Get in "Knee Deep"!

i have an outdoor pond( 300 gallons, preformed) the ice is almost gone, but the water is very cold, i have a dozen goldfigh that i kept indoor all winter in a 108 gallons fish tank at room temperature (68-70) i want to put them back outside in the pond, when can i do it?? is it going to be too hard on the fish if i put them outside in the pond, i think the water is approx. 50F???

Response:

Yanick, Still way too cold. Fish can’t handle a 20 degree drop in temperature. Wait until the water in the pond comes up into the 60s, and then gradually lower the temp in your indoor pond over a period of days, until they meet. Of course you can also wait for the h2o temp outside to reach 68-70, and then move them. That’s probably the safest way, but it takes more patience. (A virtue, but not one of mine!) Good luck. — Cheers, Laura http://www.geocities.com/pinkmousedesign rec.ponds FAQ > > http://w3.one.net/~rzutt/faq.html

Response:

not until the temp has been above 55 for at least 10 days and like others have said, you have to bring the fish down no more than 4oF every 12 hours or so.

And my husband has the bills to prove it!

Response:

Like the others have indicated, its not so much the temperature as it is the change in temperature. When you have your indoor fish in a container ready to transfer to the pond, they should be at nearly the same temperature and even then you should just set your container into the pond and let it slowly come to the same temperature. Then allow the container to sink below the surface until your fish can swim into the open pond when they want to. Don’t just dump the containter with the fish into the pond even gently. The sudden temperature change of just a few degrees can put them into shock. Larry

By all means, get a GT. The inexpensive models have the same geometry as the high-end models. GT by far gives the low end cyclist the most bang for the buck. I bought a Talera for me and my girlfriend last Xmas. After a year of hard riding, the bike is still in great shape. I am planning on upgrading to a Pantera w/Judy XC this summer/fall. I would not even consider any other brand for less than $500 than GT.

4 my 2 cents, I followed Arthur’s advice — somewhat before he gave it — and I am happy like a clam that I did. I looked at Trek, Performance and Cannondale before plunking down $500 for an Cannondale M300SE, adding bar ends and clips’n’straps before I rode it out the door. People have argued that you get less for your buck in the way of components with a ‘Dale, but you do get a nicer frame (to which you can add money in littler hunks at a later time for neat-o components). Cannondale also gives a trade-in allowance (something like $200) after you’ve beat the bjaizus out of your 3.8 frame and want to upgrade to a 2.8. This was my thinking, anyhoo. The philosophy worked real well when I was building and riding road bikes. Marky P. Charm City

Response:

Go to your local bike shop with $500 ($600 if this is your first bike and you’ll be needing a helmet, shoes, gloves, a pair of shorts would be nice too). Find out what you can get for $500. More specifically, see what type of frame material and components are available at that price. Then go to another store and see how much a comparable brand costs with the same features [frame type and components]. Consider the shop’s maintenance policy too. Then do it again until you are sure what you want. You’ll need to test ride each bike. Listen to the salesman’s presentation of the bike. If he doesn’t sound like he knows what he’s talking about he probably doesn’t. He might be working on your bike later. Remember that. Good luck. And don’t pay as much attention to name brand as people think you should. There are many great bikes for less that the highly advertised competition.

Response:

Alyx, Something you might like to consider is giving you new dog some raw washed carrots or the washed centre stalk from cabbage or cauliflower or broccolli. My dogs eat these when they become a bit "bunged" and it always works for them, but a word of warning, WIND!!!! ( Combated with a couple of charcoal biscuits and a few cans of "fresh Air Spray" LOLOL Also I use these as an aid for cleaning their teeth instead of bones but if your dog is a bit on the chubby side, be careful about too many carrots, they are high in sugar content !! Hope things start to "move" quickly for her Regards, ConnieD.
