Hello,
Just wondering if anyone will be at the Mayo on Feb. 7th. Hoping to meet others to find out how someone else is doing with recovery & Pain.

Also to Kath,
Hope all went well at St. Marys'.

Last yrs. price was $800.00.That's why I do not have one. It's awful that ins. will not cover the cost. A partial would be better than nothing. Yet another reason the ins. co. have soooo much money. Sorry, just Had to vent about the ins. companies!!!!

Hi Amy,
I live near St. Cloud Mn. Thanks for the encouagement. I'm sure it will go well. I'm hoping to meet others as I would like to know how someone is dealing with their pain. It's easier to talk in person.
Later, Alan

I will be back at the Mayo on Feb. 9th. Just wondering if anyone will be there too so we could meet & chat.
