Alice ~~ Stay strong! {JESUS SAID, "I AM HERE. DON'T BE AFRAID." JOHN 6:20} You can handle this minor obstacle. If you have to, you can find another surgeon. You live in or near a major city and there should be several qualified surgeons available to you. The door may have been closed through this dr's office but our Lord haas given you a window. So, go open that window and climb through for a new opportunity. {"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST, WHO STRENGTHENS ME." PHILIPPIANS 4:13} Stay strong and God be with you. Prayers, Love,& Blessings, Janie
