Thanks for all the well-wishes in the last post. I'm feeling a little better (fever is nowhere near as high) but I'm still in bad shape. Hurts all over!!
Called in sick from work again and visited a doctor. Couldn't do much for me since it didn't seem like a bacterial infection, but he perscribed some antibiotics for me anyway (huh?)
Dunno how it is when the rest of you visit a doctor for the first time, but it gets really annoying when you have to fill out all these forms that ask you the same questions over and over again on different sheets. Meh . . .
In other news, Pioneer is silly:
INITIAL EMAIL TO PIONEER USAHello, I have a Japanese Laserdisc player (CLD-R7G) and was wondering if it was at all possible to order a replacement remote control for this unit through you? The model # for the remote is CU-CLD150
(picture for reference:

I contacted them first because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be buying the unit from them either way, since that's the way it worked when I ordered a part for a Japanese unit before. Instead . . .
