Right. Survived the operation, with the help of kind personnel, strong painkillers and my own bullheadedness.
Right now, doggone tired, so the descriptions of the gory details will come sometime later. Suffice to say, today they removed the sewing thread, but my ear is still leaking fluids, which irks me, because it's annoying feeling. No longer loopy from the painkillers, or climbing the walls from frustration on what to do in the hospital. Survived the shame of having to piss in the bed.... erk. Guys really have it easier, because of their ding-dong between their legs. I swear, I am jealous. /pouts/. No matter, it's done and over with, it was a little mortifying but a man gotta do what a man gotta do, and if that means to piss in a latrine under yer ass, them you damned well piss into it, polite manners be damned. after all of that, no matter how educated you are, you still have the body and needs of an animal.
My feelings? Irritated, and wondering if made a right decision, even if I am now more comfortable than before they removed the thread. We'll see if the operation was actually successful a month later, but until then, I gotta get myself into shape, health wise, because I wanna have my skull whole again.
Bit my beta, because she didn't beta all of the sent material yet, and I intend to give 'er some more to chew on... as soon as I get enough snooze to be actually awake. Gawd, but waking up at the damned hour of 4.50 is an ungodly business that shouldn't have been done, or if it has to be, then the least amount of times possible. Yeah, chronic snoozer and whatnot, in my defense, love my sleep.
Tomorrow, I hope I will be more sane.

Printer Mayday And Solutions
Well, I survived. Took two more days to get all those wood logs to safety, and my back was practically screaming with pain after the second day (howling, actually), but it was done.
Today got an unpleasant surprise in the shape of my printer stubborn refusal of scanning some of my more important official documents to my laptop. Solved the problem, without my bother's help, surprisingly - he is the Tech Man in da house, and the berkish printer that caused me the problems is now purring out the required data.
As it is, I partially based my solutions on the answers from the FixYa page - those self-help pages can be a kind of a godsend when you are in a pinch but a word of warning - be judicious on what are you trying to do, elsewise you will got yourself in even a bigger mess than usual.
As it is, situation was like this - me, having a laptop with Windows 7 installed on, and frustrated because the printer Samsung CLX-3185FW refused to cooperate and scan the required documents to my laptop. Cue the seething and grumbling and searching for a solution. At first, I tried to get the scanned documents on the laptop via the USB key or USB cable - no such luck. I thought wireless was a bit above me to repair - I don't know about it much, only how to use it when it's in effect. Repair? Don't ask me.
Well, my miracle road consisted from four steps:
1. Checking if Hardware and Sound (you find it under Control Panel) - - View devices and printers - even sense the damn berk [It didn't find anything. Oh, joy. Not!] Clicked Add a device in the same window - if the trouble is a recent one, it should have found the printer you are desperately hoping to work with. It did mine, but still no dice with scanning.
2. Going to Samsung Printers - Samsung CLX3180 Series (you find it under All programs, just go to Start and here it is.) and updating the entire driver collection [Still didn't work, but in case your drivers are at fault, it's a good thing if you do that step.]
3. Run Scan And Fax Manager. (If you don't have it, then download it) As I thought, the printer didn't have the IP address of my PC, so I got to do it a quick scan to find the necessary data.
4: Did the trial run with scanning - and I was happily surprised the previously mutinous little berk of a scanner cutely purred out the required data on my PC. Good boy [pats the printer fondly].
The steps work if you have the wireless between PC or laptop and printer working, if you want to print, but it doesn't work when you want to scan. This is also a cue - PC knows the IP address of the printer, and printer doesn't know the PC's IP address, so maybe the only two steps that are needed are number 1 and 3, but I'd recommend to do all of 'em just in cause.
Well, that's it for now. Much luck to everyone!
