| 2009-11-07 | Julia | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much for sharing your insight. I feel better knowing what questions to ask and that the staff is doing the right thing. I wasn't sure, and your praise for their care is quite a relief. Thank you so much! |
| 2009-11-01 | Esther Mach | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-10-17 | Carl | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks. We'll check on the chair. |
| 2009-09-14 | D. | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Paula. I appreciate your honest feedback on my mother-in-law's story. I will "run" to a neurologist even if it means bypassing her family doctor. I"ll let you know how it goes. I've had a gut feeling for months now however when her own doctor said there was nothing to worry about I thought it was just me and that I should let it drop. I'm happy that I had you to ask advice. |

| 2009-08-12 | kathy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your quick response, it was greatly appreciated. At least this gives us some direction. Thanks again, Kathy |
| 2009-08-11 | Melody | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow! Thanks Paula, you are 100% right. I will talk to my sisters about the autopsy thing. Very good information. Thanks for taking the time to get right to the point. I appreciate you being candid, Melody |
| 2009-08-11 | Melody | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Paula, for your caring and knowledgeable answer to my questions. I did forget to mention, I stopped having my period when I was only 38. I used to take Prempro for the moodiness and hot flashes. Great drug! I know the docs hate this drug and with my heart disease, I can no longer take this drug. Mom had a hysterectomy when she was 40, so I cannot judge how this may have affected her as far as the AD goes. Mom is healthy as a horse, as they say. Just the AD affecting her. I do have a busy, stress filled life and hopefully that is the problem, along with not being able to take Prempro, which was really a miracle drug for my menopause craziness. I do have BCBS insurance with my employer. To top it off, I forgot to mention I also have a prolapsed uterus, which is the icing on the cake! You are very sweet to be so personal in your response. I appreciate you so much, Paula, Melody |
