Re: duragesic patch: Jang.

[Guest guest]

Dear Jang,

Thank's so much for the information. I hope you and your family had a

safe, restful Thanksgiving Holiday, and that you are feeling reasonably

well. Don't you work part-time? I want to get back to work part-time very

much, but the doctor hasn't cleared me for it for several years, still on

disability, he's afraid that I'll make myself worse. Oh well, it helps to

have a goal! Can't wait to find out if I can do the patches. So glad they

help you so well.

Your Pancreas Pal,

Henry
