David B. Elledge II, actually.

I could whine and moan about the state of health care in America, but not gonna do it.  Here it is:  I don't have multiple myeloma, bone cancer or bone marrow cancer.  I have osteoporosis.  Yep, inside this human bowling all is a bunch of dainty bones. 

Who knew?  The doctors didn't for over two months and $43,000.00.

I'm very much on the mend and healing up.  Bunch of physical restrictions concerning weights and activities, but that is fine by me.

Thanks for all of the emails and calls asking me how I am doing.  You guys are great!

Geez. Health care.

Okay, Dave. I'm delighted it's 'only' osteoporosis because I had worried it was much worse. As for dainty....well, we've known you were dainty for a long time. We just didn't see the need to mention it.  8) :rofl:

+1 to everyone else's well wishes, Dave. Glad to hear that it's a better than expected diagnosis and treatable.  And as far as being "dainty" goes, tell everyone that you're in shape. (Round is a shape, ya know!  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:)

Feel better soon!

Now there's the pot calling the kettle black Charles (old fart reference).
No goin under the knife or chemo is a good thing.
Hopefully they have taken you off some meds (switched for others) and what kind of recovery are they talkin?

Health has been a strange journey since my car accident in '12.  It's all good since that should have killed me  :thumb:

Thanks to all.

Dave,

This is very good news indeed. Now if I can scrounge up enough funds again to buy some of your other products...

Remember, AN members get a 10% discount.  No real reason.  Just because I like us.

I "think" I have a trade in coming in, in the form of a standard UberBUSS.  P&S 5362A Extra Heavy Duty Hard Use receptacles that have been hand polished with a Furutech rhodium plated inlet, not the FI-06 NCF, but I could retrofit it.

Anyway, I have to get back at it.  I go nuts when I can't work.  Even though I am slow, I need the intellectual exercise and income.  The last few months sucked because so much of my time was eaten up by BS.

It's all good and so am I.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support.
