Thanks Cathy. I am on a roller coaster of emotions right now, with worrying about the funding coming through, etc.

We did have a marvelous time in the Big Apple though. Our two year old Australian Shepherd was awed by the glass elevator...to put it mildly! After a few trips up and down, we didn't have to convince him to come in quite so much...and the tropical trees inside the hotel sort of messed with his mind as well, from a dog's point of view "But Mom...they are here for a reason!!!!" It took a quick walk in the morning to get him outside to the 'proper' trees.

Good news is that my neurologist has agreed to sign my application for the out-of-country surgery for the Insurance. After quite a lecture about what happens when 'something goes terribly wrong and our local doctors have to clean up the mess...." He then offered to put in an 'urgent request' to the NS who I was supposed to see eight months ago........I politely declined, unless there is no way in h#&& that I can get to Dr. Bitan
