Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Well, contacts are what I need, I have not received my packet but have sent in my patient registration. I will most likely get my packet soon. It sound as if your surgery went well. I just hope Dr. R accepts me and my Insurance authorizes the surgery. I have needed this surgery for years but was waiting for the mini. I sure did not want the old-12day hospitalization type. The more I read about the mini the better I like it. Im not from Penn though.
