stool analysis?? (DMM help?)

[Guest guest]

Dear Jon,

I have written to Dr. Mike regarding your situation and have now

asked him to respond to this email from you. He told me you could

email him direct but I'll let him tell you, okay? He and I had some

mixup with emailing this week, so that was the problem with the

delays.

I hadn't forgotten about you Jon. Hang in there.

With warm regards,

Bee

Hi Bee

If you and Dr Mike can make me feel better - after seven months of

this misery - I'll do my best to get you knighted in the Queen's New

Year's Honours List.

Your help is very much appreciated.

The Best
