Hi Margy

I am soo happy for you. I think this new ortho might be able to

help you out. ;o)

Also I just wanted to tell you that I started my career out as a

certified nursing assistant. I think this is great and I wish you

the best of luck. I don't know you, but from your posts I do

believe you are a passionate person.
