The Official "Good Morning" Thread

He got here at 10:30, after calling ~10:15. Low signal levels. He took out the surge protectors at the main TWC box and a secondary SP at the TV/DVR splitter. Then he found that my modem had a low signal level in my office, so he changed a splitter connection at the main box so the stronger signal goes to the modem and not the DVR, which made the DVR signal strength at the bottom of the acceptable range. So he's coming back with a preamp splitter to put in the main box to boost, and equalize, all of the signals. Side note, I used to have a preamp in there, but a tech took it out about a year ago on another service call, saying I didn't need it. I didn't, until now... Whatever, it's all free to me, other than the cost of the cable services. At least I didn't have to swap out the DVR.

Oh, I'm probably going to put the surge protectors back in when he's all done, although I'll update at least one of them to work better with digital signal technology.

Good morning. I'm home sick. And I got results back from MRI I had on Monday. It's official, I'm falling apart. Harrumph! (Although it is a beautiful morning outside, so there's that for a bright side. )

CB&B - what did you have an MRI for? HIPPA rules be damned!

Hurt my back picking up a tank of a server. I'm guessing workman comp claims are pretty rare in the computer fixin' industry. Report is a ruptured disk with other fun stuff going on. Which is why if you look close enough on game day my walking stride is not a thing of beauty anymore.

I hope you can fix it with some physical rehab. Back surgery isn't fun.

Bummer. But claim that workman's comp for all it's worth! That's why it's there. And let Julie load the trailer with the grills and stuff... ;)

Vibes for your back getting better, and certainly no worse. }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Thanks. Setting up consult with neurodude in near future. The reason it has come to this point was that after the injury (I was in so much pain I could not go more than an hour without laying down, including at work..supahsucked) I went to a chiropractor at my boss' urging. I don't like doctors. My dad is a doctor and he doesn't like doctors, so it's inherited. Anyways, the chiropractor was able to help a good bit, both through actual adjustments and home remedy suggestions that included stretching and "spinal molding". But the underlying pain in my lower back and leg never went away, and at that point he requested the MRI because he was thinking there was more going on then he could see in X-rays. Basically, it hit a point where he had done all he could do. At least now I can make it through the day and go on our walks at night, but they are painful and sleeping sucks. It was an event that literally changed the way I live my life. Getting older is the pits!!
I still refuse to let the injury take over though. I have a pretty good tolerance for pain and I'll deal with it to keep doing the things that I love. The alternative sounds incredibly boring.

All joking aside I hate that idea too. Honestly, I would much rather take the pain then take pills. I hate pills with a passion.
