I was reticent to post Dr. Arata's name and info, but now that he's "out", yes, he was the dr who did my procedure in Costa Mesa, CA. He and his staff were terrific. More info is on "Katie41 in Poland", last post on page 3 of thread, and "May-Thurner and MS/check it out"...

My daughter and I will never forget the many wonderful peop...

Pam, so glad to hear about your improvements. It's amazing, the tiny things you don't even realize have improved. I hope you continue to feel and see more improvements daily, or at least every other day! LOL!

Badger, I'm so sorry! Well, on to more new beginnings And, then continuation of the new things so they become the norm!
Love,
