Mari, how are you doing today? Are you still in El Paso? I wanted to congratulate you on not letting the insurance keep you from what you wanted. If there where more people like yourself, girl we would be moving mountains!!! LOL Did you have the surgery after all? I’m from El Paso TX to and will be having my surgery in 10/21/03. Make sure you post your comments; I look forward to hearing on how you are doing. I will keep you in my prayers, please keep me in yours too.****
