It appears there is a huge backlog with pathology and it will be awhile yet before I get the results  I'm working hard at sucking up this frustration, but so far its not working tonight. So I will allow myself to GRUMP about it tonight and then wait patiently. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the good thoughts. Donna
