Where is Dave from Japan?

Hi Guys, Has anyone heard from Dave in Japan lately?  I know he was having some pain and was considering going back in for surgery.  But I have not been on the board as frequently as usual and might have missed something. I sent him an email but didn't get an answer back yet. 

Yeah Jim, Dave~n~Japan wasn’t scheduled for his "fix" until April 19^th, But, we haven’t seen him in about 10 days now… Little worried… For those of you who "Use The Force" Toss a little prayer or good thought out toward Tokyo? Best Wishes- Dx

Yeah, it's been awhile since we've heard or seen anything from Toadlats.  You don't think that gay cowboy episode drove him off, do you? He's probably just zoning in a gym somewhere. DD
