Barb, I don't think Bob is still one the list. She is at Scott and White
in Temple Texas. What is Bobs last name? I need to ask about the
medication I am taking , sometime they take it and some times they
don't. Strange, but true. My blood is O- and can be given in a pinch to
anyone, but some banks don't like the meds. Every one can ask and red
cross and they will tell you about the meds. Nita
