UV - thank you! I am glad she is seeing the gynecologist.

I also had a reply from a person the paster in Ansbach knows - she is fluent in German, and emailed me her phone # to give to Kirsten. I PM'd it to her.

She(Clare) also said that an antibiotic ointment is quite common, and that drs tend to be a bit cold about things.

This woman lives far away, but can phone the local Caritas or church there. I KNEW a woman would understand more!

They won't try to 'church' her, but if one or two people can help her out, that would be great.

THANK YOU, Clare! (the woman who wrote!)

Things are looking up on all counts.

PS - BCMom - I just would have thought they were a bit better in Germany...guess not always.
