Thanks Echoes:

The cost IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR US.
I did tell Alan what you all said. He said "Tell them thank you very much for their input, I knew it was too good to be true".

We are seeing his podiatrist next week for his regular foot exam.

Oh, he got his blood work back.

He has high triglycerides. Now how can someone who is a vegan have high anything. I feed him those Gardein meals and once in a while some pasta. While I eat my sprouts daily he does not. He DOES INDULGE IN COOKIES, CAKES and other stuff with sugar.

I have told him "too many carbs". Wait until Dr. Fred gets a hold of him.
Oh, forgot to tell you, Alan is going for a VNG at his primary care guy's office on Friday. It's a new kind of test that you put on goggles, and they put some kind of headgear and show you images. It is supposed to test his reactions and his balance. It's a long test, but it's supposed to be state of the art.

Alan feels that his balance is a bit off since he went off of IVIG, so his doctor ordered this test for him.

I'll update you all after it's done.

Take care and thanks much
