Went to Dr Carlos' office yesterday but the earliest appt was over 2 weeks away. Talked to Hillary down at my health insurer SelectCare and decided later to go to Manila and St Lukes Hospital to take care of this. A neighbor told me this morning that he has a somewhat similar problem and after some research decided that a Dr Ver at St Luke's is an excellent surgeon and that's who I should see. And so, by the end of Saturday (Guam time), I'm flying out Tuesday to Manila and will see Dr. Ver on Thursday afternoon.
