Well, that's encouraging news. I will be hoping for the best when you go to FL.
I have a question in general though, for anyone who knows the answer. When Kathy made the statement that she couldn't pay out of pocket for ADR, as she only had $1500 in savings, can a person not use a credit card? I am asking because this is what I was thinking about doing, if I chose to have the hybrid surgery and being told that my insurance won't cover ADR. I just figured that I would pay it off after surgery. Hmm, maybe with the risk that a person won't make it through surgery, they don't allow it. EEK.
