When I went to Spain in 2014, I told my bank (chase) that I was going for surgery, not vacation, they wired the money for free. Thanks obumacare. I also asked Yolanda about a driver. They have a service that uses Mercedes and are very helpful. This is a must, as it receives the stress of getting to the apps., traffic, etc. The added fee is definitely worth it, not matter where you go. You will have enough to worry about.

Three-Level ProDisc-L
OK, made it to Bogen. Three-level ADR surgery yesterday. So far, so good. Level 8 distraction pain. A bit of sciatica when I straighten my legs. Drank a whole pot of tea.
Happened pretty quickly because the Prof. Dr. had a cancellation and we flew standby with no problems.
