Susan is a trooper for sure.
Rohrer, I didn’t know Dr Hey recommended surgery for you a few years back....What levels did he propose?
Scoliosis and insurance completely changed my life. I quit a good job due to crappy insurance and started my own business so I could have control over that. I did this 11 years before my surgeries and the insurance was not cheap. The premiums at the shop ran as high as 10K per month, until I suggested pulling the plug before I had a heart attack signing the next check. Chopping on the cancer riders lowered it substantially. I actually could have paid cash for my surgeries, a triple bypass, and a 3 level ACDF and would have come out flush.....
I always selected the PPO...
Having all our ducks in a row is required. Logistics takes thought....and the most important thing is being educated, and having a positive attitude.
Even if you have all the ducks sorted out, and have the education and knowledge, but lack in the enthusiasm department, rejection is possible since we need to be in this for the long run. Once a scoli, always a scoli, through think and thin. I was rejected in the end till I told my surgeon “I can hang” “I wont give up”.
My horse blinders were on looking straight ahead, focused on the goal.
