Hi:

I'm not sure who Randy is, but he has been an incredible help to me too.

Randy has experienced both traditional surgery and NA for his Dupuytren's.

Thanks, but enough of this. Sounds too much like spin marketing for a new Hollywood action adventure.

Yes I am a "civilian" who has had both OS and NBA........I mean NA (it's the crippling effect of past OS on my typing :-)

I've certainly had my detractors, especially when I've attacked the *Lunacy* of keeping OS the Only or continued First line of Defense. I've been criticized for claiming to know more than my own wonderful hand surgeon in all matters NA. However, it is still true. He'll be fine though, going to Eaton's ASSH sesion and all. He will not listen to his Jr. (Prosper) as yet, so why to me :-)

Some think such bravado is arrogance. Can't help it. He is going to Eaton's session at the ASSH so that should no long be a problem, unless sheer bullheadedness takes over :) Let's think the best of him and all other "traditionally minded" of their ilk.

But wouldn't you say Kobe's got to recognize by now that there's no "Kob" in "TEAM"? There's no *recovery* in NA either. Neither seems to want to pass when they don't have a good shot.

Randy:

I had NA done two days ago by Dr. Denkler.

I will post a comment about the procedure when I get home to Orange County, after I get checked out by Dr. Benhaim.

But, just to summarize for now -- being an NA patient of Keith Denkler was a wonderful experience.

Details will follow.

Anyway, I thought you’d like to know that your name came up in my discussion with Dr. Denkler.

I told Dr. Denkler how helpful this Discussion Forum has been for me - that's how I found out about NA in general, & in particular how I found out about Dr. Denkler & subsequently about Dr. Benhaim.

Dr. Denkler then mentioned "Randy H", & agreed that folks like me are lucky to have you (& the other Dupuytrens veterans) out there.

I’m indebted to you, & appreciate your work on behalf of the DD community.

Thanks, Randy!
