The device they had put in was the biggest they could go. The 4th hole was out of reach.

Curious why you did not have the last hole patched? My brother in-law was told he had a hole needing patched and they couldn't find it. Sorry I don't know a thing about CPS but know who to ask - there is a support group on YAHOO GROUPS for people ...

Overwhelmed

Honestly I was thinking learning to walk was really hard. This was accomplished in a week, I was so happy to learn that again.

Yea it's so bad having these issues of what to not pay to get meds… Continue
