Hello,
I am also from Michigan. I live in the Lapeer area. I have already been to a seminar, had my phsyc eval done today and he gave me the green light, and I have a appointment with my surgeon next Tuesday the 28th. I spoke with my surgeon last night at the seminar and he said they were setting surgeries for right after Thanksgiving so I am hoping to be having surgery sometime the first of December. Keep us posted on how you are doing and what works for you. Good luck.
