Ed, Great to hear the Mayo in Az will see you. Helena sounds like a good idea also. I have mentioned the VA has treated me well. I am also on Tricare Prime and have only established a primary care Doc for emergencies. Not sure what your rating is but with my 50% it is all provided free of charge and I have a slightly higher priority. Though going to the VA is seen by some as the storage center for disabled vets esp during the Viet Nam era. It has changed dramatically. I can get in within a week to see my Doc here. They do whatever they can to diagnose the problem, and schedule procedures during the same visit to reduce travel. Don't know what Helena will be like but they have made vast improvements. Hope things look up and you get some answers soon.

Prayers being sent and God Bless

Chuck
