Re: Spent the day at the hospital-Abnormal EKG

[Guest guest]

Terry,

Here is an information site on MediKan:

http://www.srskansas.org/services/medical_assistance.htm

and:

http://search.botbot.com/bot/m/d.html$MediKan?n025

This other one is great! I use this one all the time, it usually

answers all my questions, and if I cant find it on their web page, I

email them and they always answer me back!:

I hope it helps!

Rosemary - I am glad you could answer Terry's question. I tried to figure

out how to do the " sound " thing to get your attention in the chat room last

night and even resorted to asking my son and his girlfriend. I guess I need

your help, cause I really wanted to chat last night. I will try again

tonight, but here's hoping you and your husband are having a " good " weekend.
