We are thinking that Richard is 1 out of a hundred!<br />Good luck to you! I am remembering that you mentioned a hospital once and I saw it on an ad at a Mets Game. "That is where John is going", I said at the time. My husband must think I know the whole world!

My result was negative for aneurism, but they did detect a small hiatal hernia. I don't get reflux, so as far as I know, don't have to do anything about it. I have never heard of Barrett's esophagus,but I do think a 2nd opinion never hurts.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916520510176931.post-36258705691765106832016-10-11T15:57:28.257-04:002016-10-11T15:57:28.257-04:00Of course I wish you luck.
