Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 Well either one will be a good choice, and I think you will be pleased with the care you get! I am also glad you have decided to come to one of these excelent PS's rather than risk yourself at the hands of someone else for this most important surgery of your life! Good for you! I also was amazed to see your husband was from Redwood City California, what a small world, as I lived there all my life. Punta Del Este in Uruaguay is where the plant my husband is in charge of is, he has lived there for 6 months at a time, I have yet to go but believe me I am getting my passport here so I can " tag along " next time he goes! HA HA HA..... Anyhow he said November, December, and January is when you want to go there and that is when the weather is great. Also he said most of the beaches there everyone wears thongs! HA I asked him if he wore his LOL anyhow take care ! In @y..., lsleret@a... wrote: > > > Dear , e, Patty, Debbie, Kristy and everyone else. > > > I am very thrilled about Dr. Feng and Dr.Huang.
