**FOlloW UP, heading to Johns Hopkins for 'consult' with surgeon EDITED [View all]

Last edited Mon May 1, 2023, 08:08 PM - Edit history (2)

(whom I haven't yet met) tomorrow @ 12:30.

EDIT:
THANKS, guys. As they've concluded, after fluid 'draws,' that I'd benefit from insertion of stent, what's a 'consult' about?

Windy at home and here Baltimore, HOPE I'll be able to see 'my' ospreys soon, after I get home, like Wednesday!
