    "My experience was fine and she relieved my anxiety over another heart issue. Just a comment-grammatical: In your request statement, the verb should be plural. I don't recall the sentence exactly... Your comment and time IS very helpful. (Something like that.). It should read: Your comments and time ARE greatly appreciated. Just FYI."
