David,
I think you are reading these posts too fast in between all the other stuff that is biting at your rear end.
What I suggested was to post a link to the actual IRS website page that explains medical deductions. I would, but didn't want to if it wasn't approved. I found that it was very helpful and not confusing at all and I was able to read it in about 5 minutes and glean the info I needed.
Anyway, if anyone wants a general idea about what medical deductions can be taken, limitations, etc. and doesn't want to bother David just Google IRS.gov and go from there. Pretty easy to find.
David, if I sound like I'm bit**ing, I probably am...too many males in my life right now that don't listen. Anyway, you are kind to offer help to everyone and I was just trying to make your life a little easier since the website explains a lot.
Deb
