Fliss's feet

[Guest guest]

I think it is wonderful that your doc has determined the cause of

your sore feet. Are B12 shots his only suggestion? I think he

needs to prescribe you a jacuzi. that way your ins company may foot

the bill. lol all punn intended. When will you get your gtt

results? It shouldn't take too long.

Well some good news, I recieved your cards they are so sweet and

lovly, thank you. I received so many cards and post cards (love the

idea) I need to get out to the store to shop for some.

I did go out to see the doc today. I haven't been feeling very

well, keep having the esophageal spasms and difficulty eating. He

fussed at me for having lost so much weight. Its not going to hurt

me to much to loose a few, I am far from waif-like. He sent me down

for a cat scan so I was there the entire afternoon. I had wanted to

do some shopping but I was so tired that its hard to stay awake now.

I gland your feeling better Fliss, hugs to Jim and take care,

Chrissy
