Thank you for the replies. I did ask those questions, and I got a reply from Ken, the rep in Canada who handles all the preliminaries. He said that I could get Dr. Bierstedt if I wanted and the reason for the hospital is that I can go from the airport to Elisabeth Krankenhaus hospital with no hotel stay. The other hospital I would not be able to check in the next day, so one night in the hotel. I guess my concerns were that I have not seen Dr. Illerhaus' name on here, The original plan was to fly in, go to hotel, check in the next day, and the fact that it took 5 months to reply to my original request. It seems like they are doing me a huge favor by taking me directly to the hospital. After 3 years of severe pain, headaches, etc. (you know), I got my passport and money together and just want to be able to wake up one day without a headache and be able to move without pain, just tired of the whole thing. I see what people mean when they say that you will know when you are ready for surgery. I will try and get ahold of Mr peterson and ask him the questions. I will post when I get the answers. Thank you so much for your help, it does make a difference.
