Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 Theresa, please share more about the surgery! Was it expensive? Did insurance cover it? How long were you in the hospital? Why couldn't you raise your arms - were nerves or muscle affected? How long did it take you to heal? And the most important question - were you able to wipe after using the toilet? Thanks! ===== Dee Waiting for Ins. Co. Approval 313/Want to be 165 __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
