We will be in San Diego in late Oct, and have a few days for jumping (midweek). Is Skydive SD busy enough on weekdays that time of year, or should we drive the additional distance to Perris or Elsinore. Thanks in advance, Ed "We saved your gear.

""We were sitting in a 3 way round screaming at doc to just look down and out and he would find us - I don't get to raz him very often so have to take my chance at it now....I am sure that this will mean that I will be sleeping with the dogs tonight outside in the dog house. "" You may be in the doghouse, but the dogs will be with me keeping me warm But I sure proved I could de-arch and "rise to the occasion""

Glad to see you are back to normal. Doc "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Way to go John, now we will have to put up with Jason's swollen head at the dropzone He is an awesome guy. It was nice meeting you at Prairie. Hope the bar injury is healing Doc "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Yeah - I remember. Somebody has to be your first Never submit to a procedure by someone who looks younger than your children "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Nice - it worked!! "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

""wait... wouldn't that make the pressure seem higher then if my head was higher up than my back?? "" Yep. Just like Billvon explained. I don't do them in xray dept - I do my own in the ER, and refer the tough ones to radiology. Maybe they do the flat on the stomach approach - I've never seen it. But I can't imagine your head on a pillow would make more that a few centimeters of H2O difference. If I remember right, your original opening pressure was normal, but I can't remember the number.

I'm not sure what you mean - maybe I misunderstood. Taps are done with you on your side, or sitting up. I have never seen them do one with you on your stomach. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

It's a matter of gravity - when you are on your side, your spinal canal is at the same level as your brain, and the pressure measured is the true intracranial pressure. If you are sitting up, your brain is higher than the needle insertion site in your spine, and the pressure measured is your intracranial pressure plus the pressure from the height of fluid above the measuring device. Occasionally if you are off center, you can hit a nerve and feel a stinger down the leg - this is a signal for them to reposition. 3 times seems a little much though. Ed "We saved your gear.

And I only heard 2 females crying outside his RV in 8 nights of camping next to him. Heck, that's not bad. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Lisa, They should have done it right the first time!! To test the pressure for Benign Intracranial Hypertension, after the needle is in place, you need to lay on your side to measure the pressure. I position my patients that way to begin with. And a skilled operator should make the procedure quite comfortable. Don't let a newbie do it to you. Ask them to use extra lidocaine to numb you, and if you are anxious askthem to pretreat you with some anxiety med. It should NOT be a horrible experience. I have people fall asleep while I collect fluid, or ask me when I am starting after the needle is already in. Sorry you are having such a crappy experience.

"""As for the restraint system, maybe you should switch to something you can just secure to the corners of the frame or something. That way it doesn't have to travel all the way under the bed.""" Sounds like the voice of experience??? "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Yeah - I hear ya. We recently switched to a king, and I find myself searching for Cindy in the middle of the night. Plus the king is almost too big for the "under the bed restraint " system. But it does leave room for the dog

Well I can't imagine him parting harder than some of those people that were at LP! I'm pretty sure I didn't see him running around without his clothes on in the bar. Or did I miss that? Damn! I bet I did huh! Turtle was the model of gentlemanly behavior at every moment. I never saw him intoxicated or inappropriate. He never did anything I didn't or wouldn't do Nice to meet you and party with you turtle Doc "Gawd, have you ever seen so much beer on a 'T-shirt???" "We saved your gear.

Prayers on the way now, buddy. I'm sorry about the news. I know how it is to lose a Mom to cancer, and pray hard that your Mom beats it. Ed "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Hey V, Although it is now 7/27, happy birthday. Looking forward to seeing you at Prairie and doing a jump. Too bad John isn't coming. CYA next week, Doc "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Nope. For some reason I am not allowed to frolic around LP in a thong...even though I'm encouraging such behavior from him. Now, that just ain't right. Come on Dave, reconsider Muttley's participation!! Head boobie judge "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" " -
