Chuck,
Bring soap as well. Can you believe you have to provide your own soap? Thats German hospitals...

well i'm about 2 weeks from leaving for germany now
i didnt think at times i was going to get there.
and to add to the stress blue crap is again showing there true colors by dening preop testing. i think they made up my mind this week i am going to sue them. i would have been ok paying for the surgery myself and just hope they would deal with post op check ups pre op testing etc.. i do have fox tv's undercover investigator phone number i think i have a good story for him.
anyway i needed a vent a bit
thanks
chuck

Chuck,

Vent away... it is great to hear from you. Keep your head up about the insurance mumbo jumbo--what a nightmare!

I see Dr. Balderston for my post-op care. He is a nice guy, and he loved my films so much that he asked if he could keep a copy of them (he said "this is beautiful work.")

Keep us posted, and, as always, if you need anything send me a private message / email.

Justin
