k, so my vent/rant... while professionally a good day, I am having a horrid night. bad day at black rock night. this is probably one of the worse pain nights I have had in a long long time, and unfortunately for me, I am still pretty damn lucid. the day seemed to go ok, or as ok as they have been,no major twinges. when I went to the grocery store on my way home I definitely felt the device shift again. 6 weeks ago before I had confirmation I would have questioned it, but now I know that is what the feeling is. last week I had been wearing my titanium custom brace that I skied with but thought maybe it was overkill. now I'm thinking I need compression AND that. I had some soft braces at one time, no idea where they are. I think I might start the day with some vet wrap under the brace at least and give my surgeon a call. this is really incredibly painful

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about the pain. That is awful! I hope that you get some relief from that soon. Definitely give the surgeon a call.
Yeah, I liked the inspector I used for the place I am buying. He charged $350 and the seller agreed to fix what he found. I didn't ask for everything, just the things that would be a problem down the road or an immediate issue (leak under the house under the kitchen, drip pan for AC that would've been a problem, a couple of things in the attic/roof area). I agree, always get an inspector!
