  22. If your asking me I'm from Whitehorse Yukon. so when shopping today got gasx, liquid gravol. does anyone know, if i am going to meet the doctor the day before? we fly in on Monday night than Tuesday going to cotton Ginny ( not going to buy much) than surgery on Wednesday, august 1 were coming home on Saturday, and than back to work on august 7. My husband is trying to get off Pepsi any ideas how?? thanks
  23. Yeah but the total process took about 4 months as we applied from Canada. Then when the cheque finally came we had to wait another 6 weeks for the bank in Canada to clear the funds from Australia
  24. My husband is Australian and under Australian law, superannuation funds ( RRSP ) are locked in until your retire. You can apply to have some funds released for medical treatment. To get some funds released for medical treatment you need a letter from your family MD and another from the specialist doctor both saying they recommend you have the surgery as your health is at risk. My family doctor did me a letter however TLBC wouldn't. When I asked Dr. Cobourn he was more then happy to help.
  25. I'm ready to pack, so what should i bring i know i should bring this magic bullet, gas x strips, my husband told me to get so liquid gravol never heard of that does that exist? andrea
