Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 , I'm having a hard time finding this docs #. I can't find his name listed anywhere in the phone book. So, either I've got the wrong name, or he's not working in Denver anymore. At any rate, his office used to be just down the road from where I live. I get off work at 230pm tomorrow, and I will stop by the medical complex and see if his name is on the listing. If not, I will go into one of the other offices and ask if they know where he went. Also, when I was at the neurosurgeon's on Thurs, he was telling me that he would probably want to put me on drug that increases bone density to aid in my fusion taking. He uses fosamax and Actonel. I told him I refused fosamax, and would prefer actonel. However, I asked him if he'd used Aredia, and he'd never heard of it. I then explained the whole thing to him, and he said that if I could get in touch with the doc, and he could justify it's use with osteoporosis and increased bone density, he would consider using it. The only drawback is that it is VERY expensive. But hey, if it works, and has few to little side effects, it's worth it. And insurance should cover some of it. But I will keep you posted as to what I find out about where this doc has gone. e ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 5:39 AM Subject: Re: interesting Thank you sweet heart Love and hugs, ----- Original Message ----- From: e Rene Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 11:38 AM Subject: Re: interesting I will track down his # and as soon as I get it I will email it to you. e ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 7:48 AM Subject: Re: interesting Yeah I would be interested in talking with him for sure!
