Hey Joyce, Thanks for the wonderful update on the Chandler Support group fun.  I tried to make it last week but 6:00 hit me too fast.  I do plan on attending the mtg with Dr Gitt!   You are really a busy gal!  I went ahead and made an appointment with Dr. Gitt on August 23rd.  I needed an afternnon appointment cause I started back to work.  I'm gonna download the form from the internet so I can just breeze right in.  Let me know if there is anything I need to bring with me.  I am in the process of being seen for "skin issues" with my regular pcp, and I have my sona-gram report of my troubled hernia. Hugs, Ginger
