Thank you for that information norwulf. I am so sorry you have been through all that, but I'm glad insurance has covered it and that your outcome appears to be good. I will check out those doctors. I wonder why some can get a waiver and others' can't. Do you mind sharing what disc they used in your adr?
We are still learning and researching. Thank you for offering to help and skype is a great idea!
