ALAN-the waiting game...xrays

[Guest guest]

Hey Alan,

My xrays were not that old, they were from 11/03...but perhaps I was

a bit over-cautious as there have been some folks who said they were

a candidate...and then weren't after a relatively short time (matter

of months)...so I just didn't wanna take the chance...and got new

ones. Of course, very little has changed ('cuz I got them), but at

least I have more peace of mind. Last thing I would want is to get

there and for DeSmet to day, Oops...too late! Not likely, but just

coverin' every base possible! I just got a pelvic shot showing both

hips...and what they call a " chicken leg " (I think) where you get

just the " bad " hip as it's turned/pointed out.

KEEP IT UP ALAN - GO GO GO BOY!
