  1. Yes they are scary, like most drugs, but if it keeps you exercising and reduces the pain, It's a matter of what is best now.
  2. Sounds like you need the operation. From a work accident I had L4/5 disc excision, then a year later L4/5 fusion. This was in my 50s. In those days they went thru the back and now I have no muscles in my lumbar spine as a result of the 3 operations. Muscles slowely died. I had another L2/3 fusion (mimimal invasive through the front) 3 years ago. Also have major arthritis in the lumbar region. I had a Spinal Chord Stimulator for 8 years that cut down the pain level and probably getting another one in February. So in saying all that, I think that these days they try not to take the laminar bone out during operations, to minimise adjacant spinal levels failing. For me it's been about 30 years of reasonable good health, that I would not have had had it not been for the operations, so I think if you are older you may die before the other spinal levels cause a big problem. Sometimes it's better to have the operation rather to be in constant pain and stress. I think you can take Celebtex (anti inflamatory) for a long time, but just need to make sure your stomach doesn't get too many ulcers. My only advice is to find the best surgeon you can (if you decide to have the op). @Sheryl seems to have a list of the best surgeons in Bangkok.
  3. I remember he flew high in a big balloon to survey the traffic for his monumental statement to fix it.
  4. If the tripping RCB only feeds the pump, how does the float switch get its power? If the float switch is one that the sealed contacts actually float in the tank, these can leak. If the float switch is on that tripping RCB, maybe disconnect the feed to it and see what happens.
  5. I think you could have leakage current causing the breaker to trip. Other people may have a better idea, but I would start by pushing the test button and make sure (maybe) that it's working properly. Then start turning off switches or power feeds (one at a time) of items fed from the RCB. You could have leakage current from pumps etc but not up to 30mA, then, with moisture, the total leakage current increases above 30mA and breaker trips. If you have any power board multiples, try and get rid of these. I had a similar problem in my aquaponics greenhouse, a power multiple was the problem. Also my UPS on the WiFi Router caused a RCB trip once.
  6. Bathed feet, not like yours. :)
  7. Undo the connector/valve from the pump to the filter and let the water pump out. See what the flow is like. This test will check that the problem is not on the pump output side. Probably isn't, but now you will know 100%.
  8. Yep, got it. Thanks. I keep forgetting to look at the vectors.
  9. 1. I worked out why they don't make plug-in 3 phase RCCBs. The main Plug-in box breaker can be a MCB or RCCB. 2. Question for @Crossyor anyone please. You said I can't replace a 3 phase RCCB with 3 single phase units; can you explain please? My 3 phase instant heater has no neutral and uses 2 phases on low heater power and 3 phases on full heater power. If each single phase RCCB has an active and neutral, and neutral tied to the CU neutral buz, won't the phase current of that breaker be the same unless an earth fault? Sorry for the trouble.
  10. Update: I contacted Lazada by phone (after not being able to work it out with the supplier). Lazada said they were probably expecting 2 boxes returned not both in the same box, so only refunded for 1. Even though seller said received 2 units in 1 box. Lazada will refund for the other unit as well. All good.
  11. Back in 'the good old days', my wife got her licence to drive, then did the driving test to get her licence. :) Seems, insurance wise, you need a licence to drive a vehicle. So if she had an accident while learning to drive she would not be covered. So she aquired a licence first. Love Thailand.
  12. Hi, sorry, not correct. I didn't knowingly cancel. I followed the instructions. I think the problem was, that when I ordered I couldn't click 2 in the order quantity, so I ordered 1 then another, but when I sent them back I clicked 2 OK. Anyway I stuffed up.
  13. I would love to but I can't see there are any.
  14. Right. I tried to buy 2 with the correct connectors but that supplier doesn't have them. No one seems to have them.
  15. Yes correct, but I'm old. The breakers were the correct ones but they were DIN mount and not Plug In mount. My fault. I thought that a breaker for a specific plug in Consumer Unit would be plug in not DIN mount.
  16. I sent the seller my bank details (by picture), which worked, so will wait and see what happens.
  17. I returned the same 2 items in the same package as they arrived in. I stuffed up, somehow, and was refunded for 1 item, but second one, return was cancelled. It's difficult to communicate to the seller. They acknowledge the 2 items were returned and that one was refunded, but as the second one was somehow cancelled, they are finding it difficult to give me my refund. I have no fault with the seller but think it is the Lazada process that is the problem. The seller goes by the handle "plugon 28", but I can't contact them outside the Lazada app. The seller asked me to send my bank account details so they could refund, but messages back have been blocked by Lazada. The seller is (seems) willing to give me the other item refund as well, but because that item was 'return cancelled' (maybe I pressed the wrong button), there's a Catch 22. Is it best to try and contact Lazada by phone to sort this out, or what to do.
  18. This is my setup. From a 60m bore the water goes to the 3000L settlement tank where the water iron settles, then to two big filters, one EcoGlass (smashed plate glass) and one carbon. From there to a Big Blue sediment filter. This filtered water goes to the house and all the yard. The water also goes to a 5 stage filter in the kitchen for drinking water. Yard water goes to some sprinkler controllers set for 20 min in the morning and afternoon. Initially I had the water tested and selected the filter medium from the water test results. The submersible pump on/off is controlled by a float switch in the tank
  19. You still have to maintain B400000 in the bank while you change. So I think you get your next extension, transfer B400000, then 3 months later transfer another B400000. I gave up and just left the B800000 with the old bank and just opened new other accounts. I'd check with the local Imm. Sorry not much help.
  20. We had this problem ( years ago in Pattaya Suksabai Village) Some village people tried to do something but always too hard. Estate developer eventually had enough. Got rid of the guards, check points and road cleaning and eventually the 2 roads in and out went back to Pattaya City mob. Still kept our place there as it was the origional show home.
  21. Is there a recommended back (lumbar) specialist at this hospital or in the Isaan region? Thanks
  22. My mate is having trouble with FB. 'For violating community standards your account has been restricted for 48 or 24 hours'. But he doesn't know what he did wrong or how to fix the problem. Any ideas?
