Jules, well now you do have some decisions to make. Sometimes you just need to go with your best feelings. When one door closes another one opens. I know I was upset when my India trip didn't work out. But now I'm happy I will be going with Dr. Pimenta in Brazil. I really feel like this is the right decision. I feel at peace, I really do. My surgery is scheduled for March 13th. My visa and plane tickets are bought and it's just less than 2 weeks away. You really do have to feel good about your surgeon! It's been a long time coming and I'm ready. It's still so scary to go so far and spend so much money. But I have wanted adr over fusion for over 10 years now. I almost waited too long. I'm sure you will be in good hands with Dr. Boeree.
