  2. No worries Jacob, I can understand you very well. It sucks when you're really screwed up and nobody pays attention, worse if it's their job. However it's always difficult for a MD getting a clear and accurate picture of a patient. Some people are tough enough to have a tooth removed without anesthesia, and others will scream like a wee baby for getting a shot in their buttock. I can't speak of other EU countries. In this one I can assure you that only oncological patients get as much opiate as they need. Even post surgical ones are usually treated with NSAID, paracetamol and metamizol (which is very little used in the US for a rare secondary effect that is more frequent there). Here to prescribe any opiate you need to fill a lot of paperwork
  3. Jacob, the risk of suffering a respiratory standstill induced by opiates is higher (as the risk of becoming an addict) the lower the pain is, so deciding the drug and the dose is always a very conservative decision. The more the Dr knows a patient, and is familiar to his/her pain endurance or sensitivity, the easier that task becomes. It's possible your Dr didn't take your pain very seriously at first \ I think they use opiates more liberally in the US than here, where you'd hardly get vicodyn or percocet. Not even codeine is very popular but for cough relief. Glad you're feeling better. Hopefully with no stress the fissure will heal and stop aching soon.
  4. Mmm, I'm afraid it's the remastered one then. I don't think they've made a new remater this year for that HD edition. Jacob, if you get it, please let me know. Glad you like it, I got it for a recommendation elsewhere. It surpassed my expectations. Now listening, for an ASR's comment: Helloween - 7 Sinners
  5. It's on the voices where it's more noticeable. Satchmo's sounds too raspy and breathy, like forced. Ella's has some sibilances. The old remasters don't make those details too evident.
  6. The only area where I see a possible fissure is in the first two X-rays, where you say, a oblique line in the mid third of the humerus. However it could be an artifact, perhaps for the clothes or a skin fold. In any case it it's where it hurts, it's more likely it's a fissure. Giving some rest to that arm will help to tame the pain, that's sure. Hopefully percocet helps you better than vicodin.
  7. Pete, does it sound tending to bright like the remastered CD or smooth and warm like the old pre-remaster CD or the vinyl?
  8. Manuel, I hope you get well to receive the new year as it should be. Jacob, your pain sounds to me more like mechanical than a side effect of Vicodin. Not that we use that drug around here that much. If the Rx was normal and any bone damage is discarded, looking at the way you use the crutches, pressure points, forces applied, etc might help to alleviate the issue. IMHO if the pain were for a bone fissure or fracture it should have started when you had the accident. However repeating those X-Rays wouldn't be that bad.

  12. You're very welcome, glad you liked it enough to play it again

  15. Stay safe mates, the pics on today's newspapers look worrisome. Here we're having a lot of snow in the north, but not here.

  17. Congrats, it looks damn nice. I wish you enjoy it
  18. Happy birthday guys. Bestest wishes!
  19. Merry Christmas, be happy.
  20. Merry Birthday, Happy Christmas, Joyful Day!!! All the best Ken
  21. yes, but a bit more subtle, as though the blanket were made of silk stockings fabric.
  22. Oh, I've just done this and sound has become instantly much better. More organic. fluid, refined, as in technicolor compared to black and white
  23. That's my point, what logic dictates. Having a 7" high resolution display model, a bit pricier perhaps, then a 10", but my friend was so sure the 10" was going to disappear soon...
  24. Yep, but that was more than two months ago, and eventually he could be pissed that other companies came out with the very same thing they were working on. I think 7" is a nice over sizing from the iPhone, but still very portable, though not as practicable as the current 10" iPad. Yesterday a friend said -though I ignore his sources- that Apple had stopped current iPad production and they're selling all the stock over the Christmas campaign. They are only producing 7" units right now, which will start selling by late January or February. Not being myself an Apple fanboy, I'm not sure what to think, nor where to confirm or deny those statements.
  25. I hope so, now that I'm starting to consider getting one... I'd wait for the next generation though, I'd love it had USB or the retina display. I've heard they can't make 10" retina displays yet, which would explain the 10" models extinction.
