BAXTER

Hi Sulynn,

I have a reclining chair lift, so a push of a button is all that I have to do. You gotta love that automatic stuff these days
My chair lift is made by Pride, there are many models.

My insurance company covered the cost of the recliner, I just wanted to let you know that maybe you can get your doctor to write you a script for one, and maybe they will cover it for you as well

I did have to pay for it up front, but the insurance company reimbursed me with two weeks.

Good luck with the surgery, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

Be Well,
Baxter

------------------
Two level laminectomy fusion L5-S1 & L2-3 done on 12/6/02.
Fifteen inch scar from the very top of butt crack (sorry), to the bra line.
BAK cages, rods & screws.(Titanium)
My pelvic bone was used for grafting.
Praying that the other two discs in between, won't have to be fused later, as I was told it was a possibility, due to the other two discs in between, not being in that great of shape.
Doc didn't want to fuse four levels, unless it is really necessary.
I would hate to repeat the surgery, as the recovery period, is so very painful.
I also have a free fragment in my T11-12 area, that I'm still refusing surgery for, at this point in time.
That surgery is way too dangerous for me to consider, until if affects my being able to walk.
