Thanks Folks.. Truley greatful for the information... I'm sorry I took way to long to respond. I actualy have been dealing with the insurance game and what i'm really reponsible for. I had to go to get an MRI yeasterday and just couldnt do it due to my sever clausterphobia (sp) and the deformity. I tried the open one and they could fit me in.. quite painful.. picture Dorf golf when Tim Conway gets pushed dowm... So I'm headed into NYC on Monday to do the stand up MRI. WOW.. I can do this... 40 inch plasma to watch ..now If I could have my coffee... Score....

I also have a"pencil " date for my surgery.. end of JAn.. I'll keep you posted... thanks for the support anf prayers...

Peace !

Good luck to you I hope it all works out and the operation is succesfull.

Hey McCarlsen,

The best of luck with this. Looking forward to hearing all about it. Also - thanks for starting this thread - it became very enlightening.

Hi MC,

Wishing you the very BEST of luck with this surgery -- I hope it goes smoothly for you, that your surgeons prove to be as wonderful as Alan's, and that you have the best possible results!

I will definitely keep you in my prayers and will be keeping an eye out for your follow-up post to tell us all how it went.

warmest hugs,
mig

A good portent. I was done in May. All will be a bit grim for a while, but wow the results..........wonderful. Rhe very very best of all to you. your life is going to get so much better.

As for the soda, (is that what we call lemondade?)

Invaluable after the surgery, i lived on it, wow and I am so so thin..........aren't I Mig...........errrr........

I thought having it in May was a good sign too, Alan!

Soda = soda pop! Your lemonade isn't fizzy, is it?

Thin? Um, is maybe not the most accurate, is this a trick question??? lol Let's say, I think of you as a big guy Alan.
