Came to this website looking for updated info on the latest appliances and thought I'd check in with this thread. I'm glad I did. DISASSEMBLY My sleeper sofa (see posts above) had to be disassembled too. When I first ordered there was plenty of room for delivery, but during remodeling I decided to put in a door that was normal-sized (too narrow for the sofa). It wasn't hard to put the unit back together again on the other side, but it's more complicated than just screwing the legs back on. So I'd suggest you make sure the delivery people (or friends of yours) know what they're doing. Then it would be fine. It's not brain surgery, but it's not like playing with TinkerToys either. You're buying a relatively sophisticated mechanism, as well as something that looks good. So it makes sense to respect what you've paid for. You wouldn't let just anybody install a dishwasher, for example. But thousands of them get installed properly every day. AMERICAN LEATHER CUSTOMER SERVICE I would buy American Leather again, even after my nightmare. I accept that things will go wrong with a percentage of anything that's manufactured or delivered. My problem was with with my retailer, Foremost Furniture. At every step of the way they were careless. As in, they could not have cared less what happened once they had all their money. If you do not live in New York or the tri-state area, you cannot make this mistake. I believe AL pushed Foremost to fulfill their legal obligations in my case, thanks to this site. After I posted here, the situation was addressed. I could not get a refund--Foremost dragged this out for years, so the sofa was now officially "used"--but I got a store credit. That is not, IMHO, AL's fault. Foremost is a nightmare, so I warn anybody about their truly nasty management. But if you have a decent retailer (and do your research into their customer service record), I think AL is a very good value in every way. I love their stuff. I only come to this site when I am remodeling or need advice on purchases, so my purpose in posting is to clarify what I can and to be fair. I'm glad I didn't have to go the time and expense of taking legal action to solve my problem. It took years to address the problem; that's wrong. But once AL got involved, the problem was attended to in a reasonable time frame. And they only got involved because of this site and this thread. FWIW

So happy it looks like your ct is clear. As to the kidney incidental finding, they were often not reported to the patients a few years ago but now with patient portals they do report everything. ct is very specific in ruling in or out kidney cancers and metastasis. My husband had incidental kidney masses that were graded 3 upon ct which is often indictitive of malignancy but upon further investigation they were down graded to 2f which warranted watch and wait and after three years of no structural changes on ct scans he is considered benign by his urologist. I hope your good health continues for many more years!

Justerrilynn, we have a gas heater for our pool, and it is part of the updated pool equipment that we got when we resurfaced the pool last year. I'm not sure how Thermeau works, but it looks like it is electric, which I think would cost a lot more than heating with gas would. Our electric bill is already high enough - $400 in September for cooling the house in August, when it was 120°. I'm not sure if the $400 was for one month or two, however. We get our gas bill once every two months, and it does not come close to the electric bill for heating the pool compared to cooling the house. I'll have to see what it costs this winter, as we will be there more this winter than we were last winter.

Had my first scan at 66. My new doctor was surprised that I'd never had one before. It showed osteopenia, almost osteoporosis, in the neck and one hip. She prescribed Raloxifene. The second day I was on it, I felt profoundly depressed for no reason, and that evening I had what I think was a hot flash, where I felt like I was burning up but had no fever. Turns out the drug works by messing with your estrogen. I went off it immediately. Instead, I switched from my daily unsupported headstand to a handstand against the wall. I began taking a calcium and magnesium supplement. I don't like gym type exercise, so I started seeking out opportunities for more weightbearing. I now buy almost all of my groceries in other neighborhoods and carry them walking, not taking transportation. Need something carried? Let me help! I guess I'll find out at my next bone scan if this stopped the deterioration. For me, the scan part was a non-event. It's the results that were a hassle.
