Charlie, how discreet was the packaging? Canada has a 60mg/ml limit so it would need to be rather nondescript for me ;)
Packaging really discreet....just a plain cardboard box by which was then put in the FedEx bag. They still marked it as a chemical substance but every place on the docs they indicated that it was 'flavors' :D

Go for it :)

EDIT...we have a 20 mg limit so don't worry about it :D

    Back from seeing the surgeon, the xrays are looking good still and everything hardware wise is exactly where it should be, so that's a plus there.

    He's thinking from my description that this is myofascial (the connective sheaf that attaches the muscles)... his hypotheses at the moment is that as it was cut completely through for surgery, that I've possibly damaged it again or tore it, or it's just inflamed...

    Since we are at the 3 month mark after surgery he's putting me back on nsaids, mobic this time as it's stronger than naproxen, and sending me to the pain clinic for some targeted injections...

    He's hopeful this will help, but if it doesn't quickly he wants me back in for a CT scan so we can examine the issue further since I had been healing quite well...

    So.. all in all good news! :)
    I hope the injections help. He sounds like a thorough doctor. I’m sure y’all will get it sorted out.

    Inflammation is quite likely. There are lots of anti inflammatory foods especially curcumonoids from tumeric. You can get the pills on line but make sure they are the ones with extracted curcumonoids and the gel ones are best because they are absorbed the best but they are a bit expensive. There are other options though. I take one everyday....
    Glad it's not too bad news but would be nice to have the ct scan to see exactly what's going on.
    Sending hugs.
    I haven’t seen gel ones before. Do you have a brand you prefer? I already take the powder capsules.

    Thanks all for the Birthday wishes here and on FB. :toast:

    It's been very quiet on the vape front, nothing new and I've reverted back to using the the Kayfun V4 as my daily vape. juice prices are too crazy here in NS to cloud chase anymore, so I take a 130ml bottle of commercial tootle puffer tobacco juice (70VG/30VG) and cut it down with more VG to make a 50/50 blend for the Kayfun. I should have tried good ole Dekang back in the day, I quite enjoy it. :vapor:

    @Pigs nothing new on the headphone front either, still enjoying the Meze 99 Classic's. ;)

    @charlie1465 I need your help with my French.

    It's become my tradition to give my WiFi extender's SSID name a South American colourful phrase - PutaMadre.

    However for my iPhone wifi hotspot I went French. Currently it's
    Foutre La Merde
    Is that correct for: A F:censored: up? I'd rather it said
    F:censored:ing Wifi though, as I only use it when PutaMadre is :censored:ing up :D

    Do I sense a Paramour in your near future dear Lady of NZ? :D

    It works great in TC TCR mode (after tweaking).

    I'm l-l-l-loving mine. ;)

    Not yet. I love how it looks, and the quality is obviously there. But I'm on the fence with it. I don't need a 21700 SBS, otherwise I'd buy it :thumbs:

    I think so too. ;) And I know Ange is fully aware it can take an 18650.
    :D :lol:
    Maybe Element or somewhere else on this side of the globe will get some. It’s really peaked my interest, but not enough to order from China. 2020 has sucked me dry of patience lol
