I have swallowing problems and have been trying to get an appointment with a noted gastroenterologist at Nashville's Vanderbilt Hospital. I've just been informed I have an appointment on April 16. Christine, I know you are speaking at the Nashville walk on the 14th. I live about 2-1/2 hours from Nashville, but will do my best to try to go several days early for my appointment so I can hopefully join the walk, or at least maybe get to meet you and some of the other OCF members who will be there perhaps through the 17th. Please PM me as to where you will be staying and how long you will be there. Meeting you in person and some of the others will be a thrill of a lifetime for me.
