Kathy,
I don't mean to pry tho I'm just wondering if by settling out of court this allows you the amount money that you would have been given for the fusion surgery? If so would you be able to consider traveling to have surgery done somewhere (another country) where it might be half the price or something like that? ** oops I just read your reply above so think I have the answer there.

The good news appears to be that you are a candidate for the ADR surgery so hopefully something can be worked out financially, somehow, somewhere, someway.

I'm so sorry to hear you weren't informed sooner as to that litigation clause or it wasn't emphasized or bolded or something to make one inquire as to whether it would matter or not. I hope something wil work out for you soon but don't lose hope. This is all just one more hurdle to get thru

Hang in there
