Hi ,

I'll admit I never focused on the insurance issues (I leave that up

to others with experience) since the surgery is 100% covered by our

provincial health insurance plan in Ontario Canada. We are fortunate

in that respect, and I feel for those who have that extra challenge

of dealing with insurance companies to go through.

You're absolutely right, though, there is plenty of info on these

related sites if people would just dig in and look around.

Happy 5th anniversary - I didn't know your surgery date!

By the way, I do remember your April Fool's prank a few years back -

that was pretty funny and you suckered me in good.
