Thanks, all, for the good advice... things are flowing OK for the moment, but my doc gave me something potent as a sample just in case we have another road block... he called it a "detergent." Yikes! I forget the name off-hand but the nurse said it was "explosive" stuff... Yeah yeah, everyone's a comedian... :p

Still blessed by these boards and have passed the address on to my doc so he can tell others who come along behind us...
