How do Kit!!

Many apologies for the delayed response. Dealing with mucho issues myself. My Mom is 92 and lots needs to be done. Enough said...

Let me back up this bus momentarily to my original post Dec 30 2022.
"Have something important to tell you."

Some Background Info: I had previously posted in December looking for Klaus C on the AWD forum as he had not posted for 4 months, but sadly no response. (Bill) B.B. kindly posted to me that Klaus C. had a health issue. Then later he emailed that Klaus has leukemia and might not see the New Year. The good news is Klaus did indeed see the New Year and is still with us but sadly is now in hospice. Back then, B.B. agreed that I could inform you privately as I know you are friendly with him. At that time this was not public knowledge, so therefore the reason for my request to you to email me as opposed to posting this openly on the BB.

Check this out........ Klaus did post this on the AWD forum on Jan 13, 2023

KGV don't blame yourself for Old Duke's disappearance into Stinking Creek and the great beyond.... Maybe he got busy just like us??? Miss him. He was one of my favorites on the Board. Great sense of humor!

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Are you feeling any better? Getting older is certainly not a walk in the park. Miss my younger days of carefree partying and chuckwagon consumption. No health thoughts. Opiated hash - NP - sure I'll try that...

Thumbs up on the Diabeetus Wilford Brimley frog!! Sounds like you are on the same crappy drugs as B.B. He told me you can reach out to him if so inclined. Let me know. Take care of your health and check out all your options. As a close of friend of mine who recently passed advised me - Be your own best advocate!

Overdue for bloodwork myself. Sometimes I suspect I too have type 2 diabetes. Got to have it checked out. Watch out for that sugar demon. It's addictive as hell. Think my ticker is still ticking though. 2 EKG's - NP. Systolic blood pressure does tend to run high so I watch my diet.

Wrist is doing great - Thank you! Don't ever break your wrist though. Break your hand or your arm first not your wrist. Just like ankles there is a hell of a lot going on there. So, 2 1/2 years later, 2 surgeries (3 including Carpal Tunnel) and almost a year of therapy I have pretty good function with my hand and wrist now but will never be 100%. Carpal Tunnel also gone except for a little bit of numbness in 3 fingers and palm.

Of course, now my other hand (left thumb) needs arthritis surgery. Don't want another long recovery (3 months +) so trying Prolotherapy now to avoid surgery if possible. And my hip is screaming at me too. Bursitis and tendonitis. Better than arthritis I guess! OK, OK, OK - I'll stop complaining now - just don't let me get any older please ...:)

Was recently thinking about Coeur d'Alene. Beautiful place. Miss the Northwest.
