You're right. And we have made our decision for the most part... just taking care of all the required testing before I go. As of today my Bone Density (DEXA) and x-ray (AP/LAT/EX/FLEX) is scheduled for August 1st, 2016, and my new MRI should be no later than the following week.

My Orthopedic Analysis Kit arrived yesterday, so I am planning on taking my Orthopedic Analysis Kit to my local clinic next week to get my blood drawn... so that will be done.

I paid for expedite service for my passport renewal and have that back.

I have to upload all these new tests so my final diagnosis can be made. All the doctors except Dr. Bierstedt have stated that they want to see these newer tests to make sure nothing in my imaging, etc. has changed. By then my diagnosis should be back from Dr. Zeegers. I am mainly getting diagnosis's from other doctors so I can get a consensus between what all these doctors are recommending, and comparing to what my two orthopedic surgeons here in Cali have stated in their reports. However I am pretty firm on Dr. Zeegers or Dr. Andreas Schmitz (just recently started looking into this man and really like him). Then I expect it will take me another week to wire transfer the funds (at least that is how long the wire transfer took to pay Dr. Zeegers diagnosis fee).

Once the funds clear I plan on leaving/flying out A.S.A.P. and am paying whatever price it costs to fly comfortably. If everything continues to go as is, I believe I can be flying out of here sometime in September... hopefully. I do not like to sit around idly. I pushed Workers Compensation and made appointments before they were approved to force results, and made sure everything got covered. That had it's negatives because they stopped treating me for 10 months, but not without me continuing to see doctors which is what ultimately made them want to reach settlement. I am going to stay on top of things here too.

But, you are right I need to make a quick decision, so I have to keep at this until I get my surgery.
