Thanks for sharing David.  There's been a bunch of S@#$t happening in my life, but not compared to yours.  I have had a decent attitude, but not as good as yours either.  I thank you for humbling me, and giving me a model to follow in imprioving my outlook.  Thanks again and God speed your healing.

Well, that's a little more "stuff" than normal to happen, I'd say.
Good attitude, there are few things in life that are really important and you seem to have them.
Better days ahead.
Keep your handle as is. You want to get as far away from that other as possible.

Good days ahead for sure just get better.

Praying for you brother!

David,don't give up! You are though and in our prayers.Thanks for that piece of Cocobolo,I need to look for some more skins when you'll be OK.

You kinda put me to shame.  After half of my left foot was amputated due to a wound from Vietnam, I was really feeling sorry for myself because I am not able to hike the mountains and stump shoot like I used to.  You give me some inspiration.

Well, there goes the law of 3's - good and bad things often seem to happen in streaks of 3.  

That is a tough run - heck of an attitude.
