Moms Medications and what each one is for

May 3, 2004

Hey Mike-

Here is that list- and I did ask her if she had a preference of the area of

doctoring and she really does prefer closest to home as possible- such as Bay

City, etc- but like I stated- if there is a better doctor , even a tad further

than that-------- We'll talk her into it......... She needs a doctor---- and I

am tired of seeing my Mother being treated incorrectly by this doctor she has

been seeing and trust your judgment on choosing a doctor with the proper

credentials....... Thanks much in advance- and remember Please -------

lol-------- I had no idea that you had broken your ribs and still haven't had

time to actually go through all e-mails but hopefully will get there sometime

today ( not sure- as we are celebrating with pizza / birthday cake for my son

who turned 17 on April 20th.... it has been put off so long - so we are doing

this tonight .......... so I may not get a chance to get at e-mail until after

11:00 p.m. ---- but I don't want you " overdoing " to respond to this.....

Taking care of yourself is top priority !

She said she forgot to mention that she often has the feeling when she

stands/walks like someone put 2 ton weights on each leg ( feeling kind of like

stepping out of a pool )
