This is the precise reason for my looking for a way for my

grandfather to purchase his meds. He can not even travel to the

grocery store...so he can not even begin to imagine traveling to

Canada. If I could purchase his meds while I visit there for the

conference I would. But I am under the impression that he must

travel there to get his meds there.

I asked a few months back for assistance on this from the group, but

no reponses yet. Now I am afraid it may be too late. His health has

declined dramatically in the recent weeks. His doc has taken him off

his bp meds and his potassium supplement. He is not speaking to

anyone about his condition...and is upset that I have learned this

much already. He has said to me a little but nothing even close to

his true condition...per other family members.

If anyone knows of a trustworthy source one could contact to get

lower priced meds or if I or anyone else can get his prescription

filled in Canada for him, please contact me.

Thanks
