Yep stick with it Dave, I am sure you will, no pain no gain they say    I must admit I don't like the sound of the pain though 

keep up the great work Dave, your doing great. I never liked the therapist I had, Not because he was pushy or anything like that. I did not like who he was as a person, he way too judgmental and always talked about other clients business and putting them down. Glad to hear you got a good one there

Ok, new progress report, but this time on Facebook!

Now you have no excuse not to "friend" me!

Friended !

You are looking much better now Dave, I hope they can have a Eureka moment on the arm though.

Looking good Dave, looking good. Just going by your appearance it would be hard to say that you had the accident, definite signs of improvement there be.

I guess in the future you might get an operation to improve the arm, unless they can work wonders with some physiotherapy.

Don't think I can friend you though Dave, not being on Facebook, I thought that's why we had our forums, no need for Facebook and we have full control over our community experience.

I'm gona take a lot of convincing before you get me on it.

Still very glad that you are well on the mend now my friend 

Thanks, Freddy & Data. I feel much improved, too.

And Data, no worries about not wanting to do the Facebook thing. I only re-joined Facebook this time so that I can keep abreast of certain developments with a couple of chatbots, as a part of my role of moderator at chatbots.org - After all, how can I be a good moderator if I can't check out whether a supposed FB chatbot is legit or not? It's pretty much the same thing with Twitter, too.

Dave thanks for the update your looking great, Your even sounding a lot better
I sent a friends request via my websites facebook page, I don't go on my original personal facebook page due to well no need to explain you all now what I mean
Sorry t hear about the elbow, is there anything they can do like remove the calcium deposits/growth?
I'm surprised they did not do a radiation treatment after the repairs to stop that from happening. They did that to my hip, it was the same kind of they give to a cancer patient though.

Glad to see you where able to get up and be mobile,  Oh before I forget Hakuna Matata some chicks dig scars 

Ok, folks! This will be my last "official" video update. The video pretty much explains why.



Enjoy! I know I enjoyed making it!

Ok, the walk might be a bit strange, but like you said in the video "You do strange things"
And now you can walk unassisted, got to be a good sign too 

Impressed with your progress Dave, thanks for the up-date. 


Me, I have some virus at the moment and am not feeling 100% 

Sorry to hear that you're not tip-top, Data. My thoughts are with you.

And yes, you're not the only one who's impressed. My physical therapist just wouldn't get off how well he thinks I'm doing. Got rather annoying after a few minutes.

Keep up the great work Dave, and hope you get better soon Data.

Way to go Dave, real good news that my friend. I don't think you should carry a tray full of drinks just yet though. 

Well done matey. 

Good to see you getting better Dave.   This must be a bad patch for us all with Data now ill.  I myself have been in pain for nearly two weeks now, the stomach thing came back.  Been to the doctors a couple of times but nothing conclusive - currently they have me on a couple of anti-acid meds.  I'm on pain killers too, which help take the edge off.  It's really miserable if I am honest.  It's just endless.

Ohh woe is us

Good to see you walking unaided Dave. Still a long road ahead but you appear to have that bloody minded spirit. Good on ya.

I'm just having self inflicted hastles. Have given up smoking. Well, week 2. Sleeping patterns are back to normal but mood swings are weird. Or is it the man-o-pause? 

Well, I'm rooting for you all the way, Snowy! Quitting smoking is hard (unless you do it because of a medically induced coma!), but worth the effort. To everyone else who's feeling a bit under the weather, I'm thinking good thoughts for you. Let's ALL work on getting to a better place, shall we?
