KL said one almost died and another committed suicide. I also heard from the person personally who went with this group of ten and the male who committed suicide did not get the pain relief he sought and committed suicide shortly after return to the States.

I went there for 4 level ADR over one year ago and believe I got good care. All surgeons will have good and bad outcomes. You take you with all of your humanness to the operating arena where anything can go wrong.

I was not in that person's life to judge the desperate pain they were in though I can say that it happened so soon after their return that I do not believe they gave the healing a chance to take place.

I can say without a doubt that there have been times in my life where I prayed to die as the pain was so great that I wanted God to take me out of the misery. I certainly understand this level of desperation.

I certainly do not feel this way today and live a normal life over a year since my ADR surgery.

I wish you luck with whatever decision you make concerning you future. There are many here who will support you on your journey.
