news update. the doc just called. a room full of docs said it can be cleared so he wants me to come back and try one more time on Wed to clear that clog up before its permanent. since I desperately need that would give me a tiny bit longer to go with this leg and any bit longer is a good thing. I in theory was to get 1.5 to 3 yrs out of it.. not 3 months. so wish me luck and promise to be back after that one. its a slow slow thing. Jan will help anyone who needs help so please pm her. thanks so much and for being patient with me. I will be back.
