It is extremely frustrating when I am on COBRA paying for coverage.

I asked about the nerve graft and they indicated they don't have a very high success rate. I also have had back and forth with the Neurosurgeon and Orthopedist, I relate to your frustration.

I'll let you know what goes on with the appeal and let me know how things go with the Orthopedist.

There has to be better days ahead!
