Re: lots of questions, new to all of this...

[Guest guest]

So, I am taking everyone's advice. We have appointments for a

consultation w/ STAR and DOC band this week. CT is much further for

me and I am not looking forward to battling DC traffic, but I do feel

better now that I am going to check out both of them. I also got an

appt. w/ another neorusurgeon @ Hopkins. Hopefully, he will clarifiy

the rest of my questions. It's going to be a busy week for us w/ all

of these appts. I'll let you all know how it goes and I am sure have

many more questions. Thanks!
