Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 Congratulations , You are one week behind me. No one has to attend clinic with you. Durham is fairly large place. There are many drug stores open around there on the week-ends. Hope this helps Marie MGB 6/2/00 > My name is and I live in Texas. I've been lurking for 2 months > and reading all messages every day.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 Hello , I am from VA and a word of caution about your prescriptions. In Va it is illegal to get all your prescriptions on one page. I had never heard of that, but all my Pharmacist did was call Dr. R. They were filled within an hour. There are pharmacies in Durham, but I am not familiar with them. Thought you might want to check this out with your pharmacy before you leave. Maybe Dr. R could have someone call them in for you if that is need in your state.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Hello, I joined the list several days ago after deciding to seriously seek surgery. I've been lurking and reading all the posts and learning what I need to know to help my surgery and recovery be uneventful. I had my consultation today with Dr. Heap in Richland, WA and it went well. I am healthy except for chronic joint pain so I'm hoping that will help my surgery to go well. I already have a surgery date of June 18 because I have to be private pay and someone had cancelled for that date so I was able to take it. I am posting because I think I'll be needing all the support and help I can get in the next several weeks. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
