It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Wow, I just saw this. More thoughts and prayers from Indiana on the way.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Dave always takes the time to respond on the occasion I ask him a NP in a pond question. I am praying your visit to Rochester, MN will be short.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

Thanks, good friends from the pond boss family. I know the power of your prayers and thank you for them.
The bile duct is unplugged. So that is a relief. Diagnosis is bad, pancreatic cancer, but doctors were very excited that the tumor is isolated and can be removed. So, long term prognosis is actually very good. Thanks for those thoughts and prayers. :-)
Honestly, it's hard to be this open on a public forum, but you folks are all my friends.
Heading home in a few minutes!
Dave

Dave:
Good news about the unplugging, bad about the cancer, but good again that the tumor is isolated and can be removed. Get'er done soon. The faster it's out, the better off you will be.
