It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Great pictures, Mel.
It makes me think of Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke seeing Victoria Falls for the first time.
Your photos look a lot like the drawings in "Lake Regions of Central Africa"--it seems the falls are little changed since the 19th century.
Pretty cool.
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I can HEAR the falls from here !
Great pictures!!!
Thank you so much for sharing these, Mel!
It made me cry happy tears. I've been to Vic Falls and it is one of the most awesome and beautiful places on the planet! I love it there.
It's one of those places that once you see it, you always carry it with you.

If you pay him you have the opportunity to make big bucks.

Barry, isn't that cool? There's a bowl there with a lip so they won't go over, but I'd still be way to afraid to even try!
Glad everyone liked his pics, I'll be sure to let him know!
