Hi Paulette,
Good luck at Dr. Eaton's... We will be anxious to hear back from you....When is your appointment? Dr. Eaton's can recommend places to stay....and if you like you can e-mail me and I can tell you some of the places we ate that aren't too expensive...oh shoot. I might as well share with everyone.. There is an old diner named The Lighthouse Cafe on the old Highway 1..about 3 miles from Dr's..It has old fashioned style homecooked meals and not too expensive....very casual.. a local's place.....
Good Luck to you....

Just a note for those staying down near Jupiter, FL. I was told that the least expensive area to stay was on Singer Island which is about 10 miles south of the Jupiter Exit, if you're going down I-95. I stayed at the Rutledge across from a Harley Dealership on the beach for under $100. Nice, older place with a Tiki bar next to the water. I ate at a great restaurant called the Crab Pot next to the bridge going to the island. Reasonable prices, live band outside dining next to the inlet. All told, I spent less than $500 in gas, hotels(3 nites), and food while traveling from NC. This is off season in Florida(very HOT), so you can find even cheaper rooms. Stayed in Daytona the first nite for less that $75 on the beach. Plus all your expenses should be tax deductable so save all receipts! Good luck. This is day 3 since my NA and I have almost no soreness left. Bill

PAULETTE. NO ONE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE NERVOUS THAN ME... I HATE FLYING....I JUST DECIDED TO GO AND AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH DR. EATON..
HE WILL NOT DO YOUR HANDS IF HE FEELS HE WILL DO MORE HARM...I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE A LARGE SOFT SPOT ON MY LEFT HAND THAT HE SAID HE COULD NOT DO BECAUSE IT WAS TOO SOFT TO SNIP...SO, I WILL GO BACK WHEN IT HARDENS...
TERI CAN TELL YOU OF A LOCAL MOTEL THAT RUNS ABOUT $70 DOLLARS A NIGHT BY A BRIDGE AND CANAL WITH LOCAL RESTAURANTS...I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY THIS NAME WRONG.. I THINK WELLINGSTON??
ALSO, A LOCAL CAFE..EX DINER ..JUPITER CAFE HAS OLD STYLE DINNERS.. SOUP, SALAD. MAIN COURSE. POTATOES OR RICE..AND DESSERT, ROLLS, ETC.....FOR I THINK ANYWHERE BETWEEN 7 AND 11 DOLLARS..ALSO, ON THE OLD HIGHWAY OR OFF THE OLD HIGHWAY A1A NEAR HIGHWAY 1 THERE IS A RESTAURANT CALLED THE CRAB HOUSE...EXCELLENT VIEW OF WATER..OUTSIDE EATING , NICE ATMOSPHERE..REALLY GOOD CLAM CHOWDER.....YUM.
WE STAYED AT JUPITER BEACH RESORT, A LITTLE PRICEY, BUT WE MADE A VACATION OF IT AND THE VIEW OF THE OCEAN WAS GREAT..
I AM SOOO GLAD YOU DECIDED TO SEE DR. EATON..WE WERE ALL SCARED UNTIL WE WENT...IT WAS HARD TO TRUST STUFF FROM THE INTERNET....FINALLY I JUST SAID..OH , THE HECK WITH IT I AM GOING TO GIVE IT A SHOT...AM VERY HAPPY I DID.. MORE THAN VERY HAPPY...TRUST THE OTHER POSTERS..THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH.. I HAVE BEEN THERE AND DONE IT.

thanks again Linda for your message and hints...very familar with the Jupiter area, so many lovely places. Dr. Eaton said he could help and I'm actually looking forward and posting...as I've said before, not to play can you top this, but unfortunatly since I've had this so long my hands are in very bad shape, but when Dr. Eaton gave me hope, that was all I needed to hear...keep posting Linda, your concern and help is sincere...

Dear El,
I cannot believe what I just read...Get a grip!
Although, I would be very happy to be an employee of Dr. Eaton's office. Must be exciting..What are you talking about calcification????
