Hi Mary and James,

Thank you for all your input. It is greatly appreciated.

After a lot of research I have decided on the doctor near me.
Therefore yesterday I made the call and scheduled surgery for
10/20/04. This way the doctor's office can fight the insurance
company for the next 2 month to get it approved if needed. I am
still going to Maryland for the second opinion. If the doctor in
Maryland doesn't agree with the surgery I can always cancel it
here. I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row!!

Mary, you are amazing in finding information!! The doctor
interviewed stated darvocet is not better than aspirin. I must
disagree when it comes to me. I have taken aspirin and it doesn't
work. Taking the combo of drugs prescribe by my doctors has helped
me. Since darvocet is available in generic form the cost is not a
big deal.

I did listen to the show and was amused when they stated that only
some information was posted in a little read Danish journal. I'm
from Denmark and they post everything to the public. You might find
this interesting!! August 11th in Denmark 18 Kellogg breakfast
cereals were band from getting sold in Denmark. Due to the high
altering of natural products,vitamins and additives. I tried to
find a link for you in English but no luck so fare.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Carol
