Default Best Wishes

Mark and Diane,

Congratulations on making the decision to go to Germany and get all the opinions and diagnosis you can. Regardless of what you decide to do, you will know that you did everything in your power to optimize your outcome - no regrets!

Although I still struggle with spine pain, I know that I have received the best care possible in this mortal world when I have traveled to Germany. Not just the quality of surgical care, but the thorough data analysis and testing have been better than anything I could have gotten stateside.

We will all be praying for your success and comfort during your trip, decision-making process, and, if you decide so, your upcoming procedures.

Best of Luck!
Laura

All our bags are packed, we're ready to go... I'm standing here outside our door...

Actually we are leaving tomorrow afternoon, so Diane's bags are packed and I won't even start thinking about what I'm bringing until it's time to leave for the airport.

I don't know what the future brings... don't know exactly what surgery Diane willl have, but Monday morning, we'll be with Hoogland and Zeegers... hoping for endoscopic resolution. This has been a tough road... I'll keep y'all posted.

Mark

I hope all goes wonderfully for Diane. She couldn't be in better hands. IF I ever submit to surgery, I'll be flying there all the way from Oz, because I would have to pay for any op out of my insurance payout, I may as well spend a couple of thousand more and get the best in the world.

She is sooo lucky to have you on her side Mark.

Take care

Hucky
