Hi Di! Good to hear from you. Weekend was ok. I have a 2nd opinion
for a look at CT Scan set up for next Friday. If he agrees then I start
with Staten Island on the 28th for Planning CT Scan and body cast again.
So.....Anyway I'm fine. I went to a dance this weekend and wore myself
out, had some fun.
I think I saw someone send you a labor number or something to check
about insurance. Let me know when you get details.
Take care. Your friend June
