No luck so far. I was told by my GI that Dr. Finley is the only one around that does them. So far, I am not able to prove them wrong. It would make sense, as to why this is taking sooo long. I am going to call my GI this morning as soon as I have a bit more info. If it weren’t for the cost, I would be willing to go to Calgary. I really cannot afford to, though. Even if we got a really good deal on a flight, I don’t think we’d make it. My hubby is still a student, and is going back to school soon, and things are tight as it is. Is there some kind of an “allowance” on this type of thing that you know of? My aunt seemed sure that they would pay a certain portion of travel, if needed, but I can’t find any info on that. I doubt they would let me go to Washington, unless I was to pay myself, but it is the same situation there. The surgery, by the sounds of it, is worth way more than we can afford. I think I would starve myself to death, if I lived there. I don’t know how all those Americans can afford it! J Well, thanks for the input, the search continues… -----Original Message-----From: [mailto:johngriffin@...] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 9:42 AMachalasia Subject: Re: Re: Would like to know about members???? Hi ......We are all fine thank you ...... just wish the summer weather would comeback ....I certainly would think that there are other Drs. at VGH that dohellers.There at least two here in Calgary. If you like I can certainly giveyou their names.I just read Martha's post. I am certain that BC Health would be moreagreeable having you come to Calgary than to the States.I can't believe that it would take any time to find out other Drs. inB.C. These Drs. all really know each other very well throughprofessional associations etc.Your ideas to entertain your nephew on the rainy day were very creative.Take care , Bleasdale wrote:> Hey !>> No, I have not called his office for a few weeks.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thank you Sue. Let's just hope I can do as good as a job as what you do. I love talking to people, trying to help where I can. I think it's part of being in the masage profession that brings alot of it out. Hopefully I can dispense the right advice as you do so often. Warm Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
