Gary, thanks for making me laugh in spite of your hardship (United hellcare?!). This company has approved well over 150 ADRs, through accident, appeals or mistakes. Sorry your case was not approved. PM or email me if you are still appealing; I will try to help.
Truck, I am sorry about the news, but thanks for sharing your well-fought battles with us. It will help others.
And hey, fusion is not the end of the road -- it's still a good procedure that has 100 years of experience behind it! Keep us posted on the news of your future fusion. And at least you have a milestone to work towards!
