Susan, I have one of the first surgeries in the United States, third I think, and if you would like to read my story it has its own web site listed here below my name. Thanks to Janet Paterson. I just went in for my third battery last week. They last about 3 years. jjjane http://www.geocities.com/janet313/pienet/ross/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
