Re: [MBZ] Surgery
Pain is only weakness leaving the body but when its leaving I'm sure glad to have something to ease it along. I had vicodin when I broke my wrist and found that the interesting thing was that it didn't alleviate the pain all that much, what it did was make me not care about the pain. It made me not care about much of anything really which is why I got rid of the pills as soon as the pain went away.

Re: [MBZ] Convoy
My wife and I used CB radios on several coast-to-coast military moves back in the day (driving 2 cars). I usually just used one of those magnetic roof (or trunk) temporary mount whip antennas and ran the fire over a thick spot in the door seal. Even hand-held radios worked OK with a decent antenna. I never had a need or desire to mount one permanently in a car.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Transferring long videos from my Android cellphone to computer
Andrew, Did you find the videos to get them off the phone? Which Android version is your phone running? On 4.4.2, under Settings -> Storage -> (and now this is really intuitive so ...) Click the three dots that represent the menu, there should be an option for "USB computer connection." Make sure it is set to (MTP) most phones default to (PTP) which is camera mode, so only show up as a digital camera when plugged in. If you have an earlier version of Android, then it should still be under Settings -> Storage, but you are looking for, I think, UMB mode? Some of the earlier version just say "Allow computer access" or something similar. I've had this version long enough, I don't remember the specifics on the older modes.

Re: [MBZ] Surgery
Dilaudid - That's what's in my implanted pump - gets refilled every 2.5 months or so. My kidney doc gave me some also so I could try to stop a stone attack without having to go to the ER. There are some powerful meds. out there and unfortunately since I have been taking them for so long they're not as effective for me. As far as addiction, I probably am. I was in the hospital for a few days once and didn't take the oxycodone - I started going into withdrawal but didn't realize it. My biggest symptom was an extremely strong odor of Clorox in the room - I even told housekeeping not to change the sheets cause I feared the freshly cleaned sheets would reek of Clorox.It didn't help of course and I finally realized what was going on. once I started taking the Oxycodone again the symptom went away It was pretty unpleasant but I suspect there are worse symptoms LarryT On 10/8/2014 9:47 AM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes wrote: He didn't include hydromorphone.

I admit I've never tried to have two wifi connections at the same time on a phone, seems like it could work if you had two receivers. A limitation for Bluetooth readers, at least until recently, is that the BT scanner can only connect to one client at a time. Now there is a free Torque add-on that lets you daisy-chain connections, so you can have multiple clients (e.g. a phone in the dash, and a tablet that you are using for doing something else), but I think that only works with Torque. I am assuming that the WiFi readers never had this limitation, and you could connect multiple clients to a single reader. A Bluetooth reader should not hog power, if the connection is lost (e.g. distance) then the app shuts down until the connection is re-established by the OS.

Is it Percocet?? First, descriptions of the base medicines: OxycodoneDerived from the highly addictive narcotic drug opium, it is a semi-synthetic opioid synthesized from poppy-derived thebaine. It is a narcotic analgesic generally indicated for relief of moderate to severe pain. It was developed in 1916 in Germany as one of several new semi-synthetic opioids in an attempt to improve on the existing opioids. Oxycodone in its ordinary form is a fast-acting pain reliever that is used to treat breakthrough pain -- that is, pain so severe the sufferer needs immediate relief. Oxycodone affects the way the receptors in the brain experience pain. OxycontinOxycontin is derived from Oxycodone and is mixed with other ingredients to create a sustained release effect. Taken on a continued basis every 12 or 24 hours. Both medications are highly addictive but Oxycodone is more addictive and should never be taken with alcohol or in any dose exceeding the one prescribed by your doctor. Hydrocodone Hydrocodone is a narcotic pain-reliever and a cough suppressant, similar to codeine. Hydrocodone relieves pain by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Hydrocodone is available only in combination with other ingredients, and different combination products are prescribed for different uses. Some hydrocodone products are used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Other hydrocodone products are used to relieve cough. Hydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics and in a class of medications called antitussives. Hydrocodone relieves cough by decreasing activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing. Hydrocodone is lower strength than oxycodone/oxycontin. Now the drugs as available: Generic Name Brand Names oxycodone and acetaminophen Percocet hydrocodone/acetaminophen Vicodin, Vicodin ES, Vicodin HP, Anexsia, Lortab, Lorcet, Lorcet Plus, Norco, Zydone While Percocet is used to treat moderate to severe short-term pain, Vicodin can also be prescribed for chronic pain or to control extreme cough. They are both narcotic pain killers with a risk of dependency and abuse and are not available over the counter. APAP is an abbreviation of the chemical name N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, which is also known as paracetamol or acetaminophen. After my neck surgery, I was on a morphine-derivative drip (the particular medicine was 12 - 16 times stronger than morphine, but I don't remember the name) for 3 or 4 days. Then I was transitioned to oxycontin (sustained release) every 12 hours and oxycodone every 4 hours as needed. That continued after I was released and came home. I was then gradually changed to hydrocodone/acetaminophen and then to acetaminophen by itself. The narcotics (oxycodone and hydrocodone) caused me such severe constipation that I REALLY wanted to get off them. Perhaps more than you wanted to know, but since I have had personal experience with all of them ...

Re: [MBZ] Surgery
Percocet is Oxycodone usually mixed with tylanol as is 10/325 - 10mg oxycodone and 325 mg acetaminophen. I've been taking it for 15 years or so... a few years back we dropped the acetaminophen because it can cause liver problems when taken long term.

Follow the doc's orders as to how often and how much. If you don't take the meds the pain will get a LOT worse then you will be playing catch-up which is not pleasant. After the pills wore off, I found out that hydrocodone does make a difference. They just timed it so that the pills took over as the anesthesia wore off so I didn't notice any benefit from the first dose. I took another dose as soon as allowed at 6:30pm. That's long gone, and it hurts now, but not as bad as it did yesterday on drugs, so I think I'm OK without it now. Can't drive with the pills, but probably can't drive today anyway.

The description said to "Not pull vacuum"? A: Only if you have a leak and your system is empty. Then you will need to pull a vacuum on it after you have repaired the leak. Other wise you can put a can of stop leak in it and then change it back to the normal amount needed.
