Re: [MBZ] Discectomy was wax and buffing, oh my!

Oh, believe me, after living with chronic back pain for a number of years she knows this all too well. It’s usually only an issue when she overdoes it, and I am constantly harping at her on this, as she will overdo things and then pays the price. I hate to be a nag, but I have to be at times

Sorry for the tardy response. The spouse had a “discectomy” (back surgery) on Tuesday so I’m running really thin between caring for her, working, and running the house. Oy. Remind me to never, ever let a surgeon touch my back or spine! I have the following HF tools:

Karl, I'd replace all the rubber vacuum lines, rubber oxidizes and ages. The comparative cost of genuine Mercedes-Benz rubber hose, purchases in bulk, is probably going to be so low that it is well worth the piece of mind. In addition, if I were the Mechanic, I would vastly prefer to have as

So sorry to rain on your parade, but the 77 mph speed limit is for "jet pack" device. Which is just that a "jet" or rocket pack.. no wings, no jet engine. The device flown in the video is an entirely different air machine, with an actual small jet engine and wings. Whole different flight

With those pills she should not wait until she "needs" them because then it is too late. You have to stay ahead of the pain, keep titrated, or you will end up feeling much worse. I had to keep after Dr. Wife after her rotator cuff surgery a coupla years ago as she refused to keep taking

Do people typically replace all the rubber vacuum lines along with the pods/actuators? I suppose if they are not stretched they should be ok, but still they are 28 years old now. I will wait for the blower to blow. Thanks for the info :-) On Nov 6, 2015 4:29 PM, "Peter Frederick via Mercedes" <
