Ok, I've been bad in not up-dating this. It's kinda busy for me right now. We're trying to wrap up the work on the house and put Ike behind us.

Doc said yeap - femural bone infarction. But, not to worry. Not uncommon. Especially in smokers... He says I've had it for a while. Meanwhile, where the leg hurts (Tibia), nothing broken or chipped. He says I may have moved some of the steel a bit (the stuff they put in my tibia after a snowmobile accident over 20 years ago).

So - sore leg, I'll hobble for a while, try to stay off it as much as possible, ice it down at night, and keep it elevated.

Oh yeah - STS-126 is still scheduled for lift-off Nov 14. Big wheels are meeting towards the end of the week to discuss moving it up a day or three. It's shuttle Endeavour's turn. It's already on the launch pad.
