Getting anxious and have questions

[Maria]

Zippo,
My case is very old, in fact, since 1982. I have future medical benefits which has covered 2 surgeries to date and care for my spine over the years. Since 2001 I started pain meds and the care has been much more regular than it was before as it used to be pretty much just for the 2 surgeries and some care after the 2nd one failed.

WC will pay for my surgery here but not abroad and if I choose to go abroad for surgery, my future med benefits will end effectively (WC is looking to settle this all out eventually and I think would like me to hurry up and have the surgery, get better and then do this).

I still think your plan sounds even more excellent getting past the WC BS!
