East Ender,
Yes I made the change. the eyes are going as well. And if you count the pin in my left shoulder, the wires in my chest, the shrapnel metal fragments in my neck and right shoulder, the hearing aids, the nuts and bolts that keep my right leg and foot connected. I guess you can call me R2D2, but my partner service dog might get confused.

Oueen Trade,
Because I travel with a partner service dog, we go to head of the line, they take us to the side and go over the both of us with the hand held. They let us pre Board as well. So no bells and whistles.

Queen Trade,
Boxer/Springer Spaniel, Good Worker Loves adults and children, not crazy about other dogs. I have had him for 15 Years, the VA wanted me to retire him 2 years ago because they will not allow 2 dogs in the same house.
So the both of us just go a little slower.

my husband (was primary care provider on StX until 18mths ago) recommends both Galiber and Griffith. His only comment was that Griffith is interventional??? He does procedures...cardiac catheterization, stents etc.

I hope he lasts a good while longer, Lizard. I can just imagine the bond you have with him.
