If you already have not done so, assign one of your favorite nurses and keep her in your loop. She will be a contact of sorts at the doctors and will be the single person there helping you with things like this. In the meantime, your post has been forwarded by Joe so those wheels are turning. Do not give up yet, stay strong...you are going to need it when the Tykerb shows up in the mail (smiling).>>Believe51
