I just got off the phone with Dave and he is doing OK. His hands are taped and he has trouble typing so he asked me to thank everyone here. He has been reading everything here and is overwhelmed with your response to his plight but because of his hands he is not yet able to respond and say Thanks.

I also want to thank everyone for being so kind to a friend. If there is anything I can do to thank you let me know. Thanks again
 
I am glad that he is doing OK!! I am still praying for him. Sending you hugs to ya Dave!! God bless.
 
So long as he knows we're all thinking of him...and miss him.

Wishing him the best from Old Virginia.:thumbup:
 
Surprise, surprise, surprise!! (Gomer Pyle)

Guess who just called ME! Yeppers. Dave himself. We talked for about 1/2 hour. I asked him a gazillion nagging questions, as always. I asked him if he had a chance to go buy some food. Now everyone has their own interpretation of what food is.

Dave replies, "Yeah, I did. I got Powerade, and Gatorade, and candy, and cookies."

I said, "But Dave, did you buy any FOOD?"

Dave said, "Yeah, I just told you what food I bought."

Sigh.

On to computers......

Me: "Dave, is your computer working?"

Dave: "The keyboard doesn't work. It has dust in it so the keys don't work right."

Me: "Are you sure you didn't spill anything on your keyboard?"

Dave: "Yeah. It's dust. I bet you get a lot of dust at your place and your keyboard get stuck."

Me: "No, Dave, I have never had that happen. Sounds like you are going to have to order yourself a new keyboard."

Dave: "Yeah."

But Dave is going to try to get online and come onto the forums because at least his mouse works. He won't be able to type, but he can read. I also mentioned to Dave that he can go to the Library and use their computers.

Dave sounds great, in good spirits, and only lost one cat, who didn't return, and his favorite wood cane burned up in the fire.

His A/C units work great at night, but the BTU's are really not strong enough to cool down his place during the day. They are very tiny window units, and don't hardly work at all, as far as I am concerned. What he really needs is a nice evaporative cooler. That would do the job just fine. I doubt the humidity ever gets very high in Pahrump.

Dave saw his doctor today, who changed the dressings on his foot. Doc said that his foot is looking good. Dave has his own wheelchair and that is what he is using to get around when he has to go out. His doctor also gave him a script for some morphine, or so Dave says. That is what he was getting in the hospital, via his IV. He also got scripts for two other pain meds. Heavy duty stuff, if you ask me.

His dogs are excited to see him. Jake and Blue are wonderful dogs and they like hanging out with Dave. They are large dogs but are wonderful company and Dave loves them very much.

That's it for the Dave Report for this week. More at another time if Dave and I are able to make a connection.

Thanks for the update TJ, when people put down the knife community I always send them here to see what knife people are capable of, (I never send them or let them look in W&C or The Cove) most of 'em have a small change of heart when they read the help and support threads in community,

He got food. Bread is the staff of life and cookies are bread.
Whaddaya want from the guy, gourmet cuisine?

I woulda like maybe a real loaf of bread and some cheese slices so he could at leave have a cheese sandwich!

But Dave likes his sweets. I would never deny Dave any type of food that he will actually eat. I just would have liked to see something additional in Mother Hubbard Cupboard!
 
The keyboard just needs a shower, but it can take a day or three to dry out -- so get him a new keyboard and give the old one a shower, so he'll have a spare handy when he spills coffee on the new one and that one needs a shower.

I ordered Dave a new keyboard online tonight. He should have it hopefully no later than next monday the 23rd.

New keyboard courtesy of a BF member who stepped up. Not my place to post the identity. That generous member is certainly not shy and can speak for his/her own self.

But a big thanks from Dave when I told him about it. Plus he said, "That's Great!!!"

So thanks to the generous keyboard donator person. :D

I for the life of me can not figure out why the ol' Vampire just don't shape shift into something useful so he kin type. Well I guess if he could he'd turn himself into half man and half woman and NEVER leave the house :jerkit:

keep getting better Dave!
 
I think the problem is working the mouse in his gerbil form. He can hop around on the keyboard, but it's not so easy for a gerbil to work a mouse....
