Finally getting discharged from the hospital/rehab. Been here since Sept 3rd, not sure I'm actually ready to go home, but insurance decided that's all they're paying for.

Oh damn.. what happened?

User Allergies?

I wish. Severe neuropathy (nerve pain) caused by a REALLY bad B12 deficiency. The B12 part is fixed now but there's still agonizing pain 24/7. Like a fentanyl patch barely reduces the pain. Hurts like hell to type, I can barely walk, etc.

Ooof! Do the docs have any idea as to whether or not the pain will go away or has that become a thing now?

Seems to be an open ended healing process, I'll be meeting with a pain management doctor on Monday (which kinda points to a long recovery). I'm hoping that good PT and losing a few lbs will speed up the process.

Mental attitude (and fortitude) and positive thoughts and all that jazz goes a long way, too.

I've been trying to keep my attitude positive, and I'm super motivated to walk normally again. Tenacity i have, patience not so much.

You and me and about 90% of the rest of the planet have patience in short supply, lol.

Technology has advanced so much since then... I mean look at Chernobyl... oh...

@nadnerB -- I would not want to be spending the night in that house.

Ugh, this computer replacement took about 3 hours to long thanks to snowflake government software.

Is that the software used by the princess from Frozen?

This is government issue. It's at least 10 years old if not more, lol.

Just got my once every 6 month CloudAtCost email. Somehow it always bypasses my spam filtering

I know that experience.
They were told specifically to cancel my account and delete it (I wasn't subscribed to any of their spam lists at the time either).

All was good for several months, and then HELLO! the spam started arriving.

Unsubscribing does nothing, you have to login/change your preferences and completely change eveything in the account.

Use a random password generator for the email address...

Are they any good, their prices look cheap, what's the catch, apart from only having a CA based datacentre (long way from Oz).

Run. Run far, far, far, away. Then, when you think you've run far enough, run the same distance two or three more times.

oh, that good hey.
Are they one of those places that speak with you beforehand and are just great, but once they have your money just seem to vapourise?

Actually, no. A lot of us had problems with them trying to change the terms on us after we'd signed up for their "For Life" plan... then they try to sneak in and start billing you after the fact, and the service itself was... meh. I didn't have a heavy load on it, so I don't really know about performance.
