  2. I know Keesler has changed alot since Katrina, but I'm curious what services are back or coming back soon. I'm hoping to eventually get my ICU identifier at some point if I get selected. I'd love to...
  3. Anyone at Keesler Medical Center?

  11. Anyone at Keesler Medical Center?

    Well, I'm here now. It's definitely not closing anytime soon or going down to a clinic. They're actually building a new tower that's going to house a new ICU, ER, and some med/surg floors. That...
  12. TMO

    Darn, I wish I would have know that!! Legal stuff is not my forte'!! My husband wasn't asked for the power of attorney
  13. TMO

    I went to Legalzoom.com to get my power of attorney. It cost like $55. I needed mine quickly, so I paid like $20 more to have it emailed to me the same day. I called an attorney in town and they...
