How big a monitor do we need? It looks like a baby hand on my 17" wide screen laptop screen.

Just over 3" on my 20" 1600x1200...

2.5" on my laptop 12.1" 1280x800

But honestly, this game isn't that much fun

doesn't pcad have a 27 or 30" mac? Maybe it is full sized on that.

I got home about 25 min early from work today (after staying till 930 on wed) and vowed to go out and ride cold be damned. Brought 2 rear blinkys and the magicshine upfront and figured it would be ok if the sun started setting.

https://connect.garmin.com/activity/64453000

It felt great to get out, but I quickly realized that I had the wind with me, I was hoping I was just capable of cruising at 22, but just the wind. Temps mostly around 29-30 (real feel 12) with decent winds from the west (15mph gusting to 26 )

It was completly worth it.

Wind sucks...really cold wind...more so.

I salute you! The roads around here on Long Island still have snow on all the shoulders making it much too dangerous. I'm going nuts...

I just got home from a long day at the hospital.

When I last spoke to dad yesterday evening he was feeling good and getting ready to go to sleep. This morning Mom called me and told me that he had a terrible night, was in terrible pain all night and didn't get any sleep. After I took my wife to work I headed to the hospital. When I first got there he was asleep. About ten minutes later he woke up and the pain started again. He was like that just about all day. The only time the pain was miserable was for about 10 - 15 minutes after each pain shot. He is getting Demerol every 2 hours and valuum (sp?) every 6 hours. Imediately after the injections he falls asleep but in only lasts a few minutes. I don't know how much more of the pain he can handle and I don't know how much more I can handle watching him in that kind of pain.

Whats bad is Sunday he was working out and lifting. He felt great when he went to the hospital Monday for his prostate biopsy and now he can barely walk. This is not easy to watch.

Damn, LowCel, that's terrible. Any chance of you actually talking to the doctor and getting a first hand idea of what is going on and what the plan to fix it is?

Prostate biopsy was Monday, surgery was yesterday. The surgery was not needed until the complications from the biopsy. He just had the biopsy because of a slightly elevated PSA (which came back negative for cancer thank God).

The doctor didn't even take time to talk to us after the surgery, we were told that we must not have been in the waiting room afterwards. We were there the entire time and they never called us. Today he saw my dad for a couple of minutes and had them take the cathator out, my dad was in too much pain to talk to him and he blew my mom off and walked right by her.

Sheesh Lowcel, that sounds pretty miserable all the way around. Do you think it might have gone better at a different hospital?

I think so but I have no proof.
