I know that we all have financial concerns and all, so I totally understand that we all need money. I am not the kind of person who doesn't recognize this. I do however recognize that I have a serious problem with my health and I can't wait much longer to fix it. With that said, thank you for your support.

Okay hearing this, WHO is going to do it? The guy who didnt do it right the first time? Im concerned Dale, that you need a specialist of sorts, not the guy who didnt get it right the first time. I can understand that you are in pain, but I also understand that your insurance should be covering this. What happens if yo go back to the guy who couldnt get it right the first time, and he encounters a SERIOUS problem? Then will your insurance step in or will you be thousands of dollars in debt attempting to try and correct the problem on a cash basis? It appears as though you are putting the horse in front of the cart. Why would you want to go BACK to the surgeon who didnt get it right the first time? Also if this is the case, there are special circumstances that your insurance carrier cab pay that original physician for his servcices considering your prior history and relationship with him.... alsoi WHY is he no longer contrcted? Is he a good surgeon? My wish for you is that the next surgery you have is your last... that was my wish for you 2 surgeries ago...... I just want you to do the right thing, not the desperate thing. The reason the speialists wont do it, is because your situation is a delicate one and that there is a high risk involved..... I know i worked for a surgeon. Many a time we saw patients that were unfortunately "botched up" and there was nothing that the surgeon could do, deapite his skill , to fix the problem..... just make the right choice... when all is said and done and you are scheduled for surgery and the day before you a short $10.. I will drive it to you. Its not the $$$$$ its the situation that concerns me and others. We arent mean, or stingy with cash... we're concerned... and you are going to notice that those of us who are concerned are ones that work in the medical field, regardless if we/they know you or not. Im worried for you Dale, thats all.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
