Thanks everybody for your comments. I'm hoping that I can hold out until
next Wednesday, April Ninth, because , I am having minor surgery (I have my
first cavity in the back of my mouth.) My family physician don't want to
give me a chomozone shot before my procedure next Wednesday. I was really
in pain last night. . . And at times I'm not in any pain at all. Figure
that one out, would you. ?
Kendall, Do you know if NationalSeating & Mobility has a WebSite?
