HI Connie:

I sure hope so. Bob doesn't mind doing my testing but I would much rather be

independent. I spoke with the medical supply company this morning because

they needed more information. If this is going to turn into a major hassle

with them, too, I'm more likely to get frustrated and give up trying.

Becky:

In my not-so-humble opinion, you can't afford to get frustrated and give

up trying. It's your health that's at stake.

I know it Mike but can't seem to convince the blasted insurance company of

the same thing. They would much rather shell out three times as much money

to bail me out of trouble than to prevent it in the first place, hence my

frustration.
