Hi Sheila:

Thanks for your posting to me, re your resurfacing in Plymouth. Frost has

been a great help to me so far (at the beginning of this process). I would

certainly like to hear about your experince at plymouth, the surgeon used, the

referral process, (my GP is doing nothing, not even on a waiting list yet.) Im

sorry you have had to have this procedure at such a young age. Would be glad to

hear from you, either on this bulletin board or direct, phildeem@....

Thanks

Phil
