Barnes is pretty awesome when it comes to treating cancer.

Will be praying for you and your wife

If you get away from the hospital Pappys BBQ is not too far away. It was on man vs food, diner drive in, and dives. Its mighty tasty

hullo luck! gonna make the run tonight?

THEY say she doesn't have cancer, that is just where his office is located and he specializes in parathyroid and thyroid surgery. All Pattys doctors here (well her GP and the Endocrinologist) both say no one around here is qualified in their opinion to do that kind of surgery.

Actually she is doing some better DT, thanks for asking. Her parathyroid levels have dropped from 775 (should be 8-65) down to 230 something. And that is just by getting her vitamin D levels back up. But she has has this parathyroid disease so long it has been robbing calcium from her bones and they are now treating her with 1200mg of calcium/1000mg of Vitamin D every day PLUS the vitamin D pills the Endocrinologist has prescribed for her.

I was hoping to get at least 500

Whoops as soon as I hear siteman that's where my mine goes. Good luck on her surgery. I'm sure she's in great hands

Thanks for the Luck Luck. And thanks for the tip on Pappys. But doubt as if we will go. I'm not all that adventurous with all the crazy drivers in St. Louis! I would rather drive a whole month in Tokyo than a day in St. Louis. I know what to expect in Tokyo!

And with that tip my fellow dogs I bid you a good night. I should have been in bed about 45 minutes ago.

If you're on after midnight I'll throw my 2 cents into the mix.

That hospital's campus is one of the largest in the world, you can get lost there pretty easy
