Glad you are doing well. I was pre-approved BCBS for ADR @ stenum in 2007 in less then 24 hours. They paid 100%. Then I became a NC resident and got denied for same surgery one level down by BCBS NC one month ago. Now I am waiting for pro-spine to submit paper work to BCBS world office for pre-approval overseas. I have no idea what will happen next but should know soon. I would be interested in exchanging thoughts and other information if you are interested.

I am experiencing pain which causes me to move around slowly and cautiously. I have plenty of pain meds, but am trying to cope without them as I don't like the side effects. I start physical therapy tomorrow and I look forward to that. I'll update, again, in several weeks.
