Thanks, ladies. One of my ducts is 100% blocked and won't unblock on its own and the others are really narrow, so I'm reluctant to wait.

I feel like a little old lady with kleenex in every pocket and sleeve :-). No offense to little old ladies!

I will let you know what happens. Supposed to be a relatively minor procedure in the dr's office - 15-30 minutes.

Best,

Janis
