Doctors
After reading all the replays saying I should consider the M6L overseas you have finally gotten me to start looking In that direction. I am having trouble remembering who said it but they said "if you take money out of the equation where would you go". I have to admit that this single comment really put things into perspective. I'm by no means rich but I would be able to make it happen without being a huge burden in my family. Although the surgery is in the $30000 range with Dr. Calvel it is a small price to pay for a better chance at success. I am just quoting a price I saw on his site for a single level ADR. Hopefully I can get some help on the doc decision and make some forward progress soon. Hope everyone is pain free today and God Bless!!
