Second blast just happened at the mine, just as bad as the first. I believe all hope is lost. Thanks all for thoughts and prayers. No one was injured.

I heard about the mine this morning. So difficult for the community, and especially the families. We, as a species, need to stop using things that require people to spend hours underground. It seems there is no way to make the practice of mining truly safe.

Hopefully BE's parents adored me. :rolleyes: I served them dinner that BE made, and cleared up, and brought them coffee and did dishes n' all that sorta stuff. :P:)

They are very nice people, and actually still like each other after 60 some-odd years of marriage. They made fun of being trapped at their son's house. Said it was like being on vacation in a mountain cabin (he's surrounded by trees). His mom couldn't believe she'd left home without her lipstick. :lol: :lol:

Gas Hot water heater will not stay on. Good thing I bought the really expensive one from the plumber 5 years ago, cause it's still under warranty. He said he was going to replace the burner and vacuum it out? He keeps vacuuming and vacuuming. What is he vacuuming so long?

I don't know! I thought he meant the little hole where the flames are but maybe he can suck the guck that falls to the bottom of hot water heaters. Maybe he's just killing time until he is off work?

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
