Good luck guys, we'll be thinking of you. At 3 weeks post-op I remember clearly how nerve-wracking it all is, but after the first week I knew I'd made the right decision.
I feel for you having to travel overseas for your surgeries, I can't fathom how your health system has so much power over the patients! We mightn't have the best public health here in Oz but if you've got private insurance they don't determine who has surgery. For eg, my surgeon performed his first 3 level ADR over 2 years ago and has done more since, and you're still struggling to get 2 levels approved in the U.S. aren't you? (sorry to get off topic) Cathy

Volks = People.
Fest = Party/Festival. Wagen = Car/Automobile ....eg, Volkswagen.... David

GL, Chuck, Fiddle, Jessica! Knowing you have the best & most experienced docs in the world will help you get through the next week. Look forward to your life after ADR. I know I'm due in the next 6 months to a year....

Hi Chuck,
Your trek through this ADR search has been interesting. Now you're almost there! Enjoy your extra day before surgery (remember to cut off the beers at midnight or per doctor's orders). We'll look forward to reading your post-op post. I send you my good wishes and prayers.
