You have my deepest respect - You have a great work here! I know because I listened to you. I asked the doctor if he would do a high resolution CAT Scan BECAUSE you asked me to request it. Imagine if I hadn't??? I had no idea I needed one until you said to get it. How grateful I am!!!

I will miss you!!!

KenWhile the news is great, the doctor who diagnosed you without a CT ayear ago should have his medical license revoked. It took us one read totell you that you had no diagnosis and must have a CT and yet someonehad the audacity to make you go a year thinking you did. It'sintolerable. But glad for the good news and remember how precious lifefelt for that year and use each year forward with that in mind.> > > >> > > > Hi everybody,> > > > Just thought I'd mention this since it's all over the news and> it is so frightening for everyone but especially for those like uswith> compromised respiratory systems.> > > > From what I've gathered what we know is that this is a new> strain of flu from which no one has immunity.
