Thanks Mark for the info...I was just wondering about you the other day.
We need to keep in contact more. How is the graphics stuff going on the
computer?
Dr. Sanjabi is doing the bronchioscope tomorrow at Carbondale Memorial's
same day surgery. You wouldn't believe the hospital now. It has grown
quite a bit.
Dr. Sanjabi is just as nice as ever. I think he is a terrific doctor and I
such confidence in his medical knowledge. He is a rariety these days, very
knowledgable, but yet listens to what I have to say.
Keep in touch...
