Stone,
"Turn off" everything is good advice...got to pick up the ball and run sometime. I'm at a point in the decision process that if i take a different avenue(like staying in the U.S. and getting a Prodisc), i would always wonder if i cheated my body for the sake of a few dollars( or thousands)...i can always make more money, but health decisions are permanent.
