We stayed at the Best Western, on Wolf Rd, our stay there was very enjoyable, free full buffet breakfast, free shuttle service to and from the airport and around the area within reason, (ofcourse) :) the drivers were amazing, but if you stay there Arnel and John were exceptional, we highly recommend...

1eye and reija..............wowyou guys actually got to sleep. I had a valium half way through the procedure, cause they forgot to give it to me I felt EVERYTHING, but we women are so much more tolerant of pain

I too would be interested to hear from others who have restenosed. I had my liberation on Aug. 24th, two balloonings on left jug and one on right. I have been experiencing shooting pain high up in the left jug, which feels like it radiates through my head :( . I wonder if this is a sign of restenosi...

AlmostClever, great suggestions, I totaly agree. :) Dr. S. and the staff are wonderful,couldn't be in better hands, the care was superb.

The Barrie local newspaper in Ont. Canada wrote an article on Barb Farrell's recovery and quoted Dr. Sandy MacDonald saying that" this procedure is very inexpensive, around $1200.00, if it were allowed to be done in Canada! Comments anyone.........why are we paying such exuberant prices. My air...
