law76 I am very glad that you are better on your post surgical side. but i'm puzzled-why do say that the compression never goes away? i thought that the whole point of surgery was to get rid of the compression. and if the compression doesn't go away why do feel so much better?

re your MRI bill. you could request to pay it off monthly. and they may discount the amount you owe if it is a hardship. doesn't hurt to ask.
