Marg,

Thank you for your kindness. I am glad that you can see a private

doctor but I am sorry that you are going to have to wait a while.

That is how it is here also. If they are specialist in something you

have to wait sometimes months at a time. I am ok with that. I am just

glad that we both are going to see someone. I am sorry they do not

have a specialist in BC. I have to go downtown Atlanta which is only

an hour drive but you have to leave two hours before time because the

traffic in Atlanta,Georgia is bad especially in the morning. I will

let you know how it goes. I do not have MSA as far as I have been

told. I have cbgd. They are closely related though.

God bless,

Belinda
