Thanks for the posts. See my RO lied to me again, LOL.
Yes Tim, it does "waddle" from side to side. I guess that's where it got the name!
Tim, the only hair loss I experienced was the back of my neck where the Rad exited and I will never have to shave my neck again. My beard above my chin, especially where a mustache would grow, is much darker now. I have a "5:00 shadow around noon".
My wife & I laughed at the above posts. WE are a mess aren't we? But, at least we're here to post and laugh about it.
