Hello,

I am new to this site. was reading some of the

messages and I really like the idea of having a

medical card to carry like the one you described in

this post. I am wondering if I could somehow get a

copy of what the card says so I can have a card made

for myself for post-op. I am going to be seeing Dr.

Ren in NY and I am not sure if she gives out any sort

of medical card or not and I like to be prepared, so

if you could email me a copy of what it says I would

greatly appreciated it. email:lbarnum@...

Be Happy
