Even though that's plenty bad enough, she's lucky that's all that happened, because she had a substantial risk of dying!! >> Geez...that's pretty sobering. Thanks, . Hope that poor woman is doing okay now... Blair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you need to get your packet ready to send in, {I hope to send mine in Monday,] then his office will call you the day after they recieve it and tell you that you are approved and set a date for surgery. You will be happy that you found Dr. Rutledge. Wishing you smooth sailing Marjory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
