Ready for appointment with specialist
« on: June 04, 2010, 02:44:52 pm »
I guess I am as set as I can be for the appointment with the specialist. I have the list of questions, copy of the films, and a family member going with me. I will keep you all posted. I am sure I will have more questions when the appointment is over. Thank you everyone for your support.

I have all my paperwork and films together. Drinking my morning Java, before my 45 minutes drive to the specialist. At least it's not some 3 hour drive. I have all my questons and then I am sure a few more floating in my head. I will keep you all posted on what he says.
