One million thanks to Kiya and Raze. I think everyone knows that if you have a question you can count on them to try to help.
I am going to print out your answers and try them this weekend. I reviewed my dialog options with Sir Patrick, and he definitely never spoke to me about the armor...but maybe it was due to the order in which I did things, so I'll hit all the principals again before trying the dialog fix.
Thanks again for the help...and the answers!!!! (i.e. can't really complete the healing quest legitimately).
