hi everyone

Hi Jenn: Not sure where the gift shop is. The couple times that I have been in the
Health Science as I went in I saw a coffee shop just inside the doors of a long hallway.
Not sure what entrance that is. Can you explain to me where that is? I can't walk too
far, I usually manage to get in the entrance and my husband has to push me in a
wheelchair. I lose my breathe easily plus, my legs are not too good. Ohhh, and I
have back complaints too...>LOL Just falling apart at the seems. Anyway, Jenn
just let me know and my husband will get me there. He will leave us then to chat . 
Thanks, Terrie    I can't wait to meet you both.
P.S. Is it my screen or is everyones sentences cut off?????

I know where it is Terrie.  The gift shop is right next to the Cafeteria so we just need to follow the signs to the cafeteria.  If you like, I can meet you at the main entrance around 11:40.  If your husband is not actually going in to see Dr. Pace with you I can push you around.   I can wheel you to the cafeteria and then take you to the clinic too but you will have to head down there a little early since my appointment is 1:00.  I will even wait for you to be done after me and then take you back to the main entrance where your husband can pick you up.  If your husband is planning to see Dr. Pace with you it would probably be better if he came to the cafeteria with you so he will know where to find you afterward.

Tina, that is so nice of you to offer to do that. Bill will push me around, I want him to see Dr. Pace with me. He wants to be involved with all of it. I will meet you guys at the cafeteria around noon. He will sit at another table and wait for me. He understands that we would like to talk without a man listening in...LOL Do I go right down that hall just before the elevators?
