Dear Toni I know how you feel. I couldn't afford DRS R & R either, but I did scrape up the money to go to Germany & have surgery with Dr Korell. 4 1/2 months later, I started having pain again. Now I am almost back to having the same amount of pain that I had before the last surgeries. I don't have the money to go back to Germany (which is really my first choice) I saw a new Dr here & he is willing to do surgery on me. The only thing is he wants to open me up so he can use a barrier. I will only have to pay $250. for in patient surgery. Right now, I am not even sure that I can pay for that, but at least I can make small payments on that. I feel that I will never be better & it is a shame on what I have lost due to ARD. I can't be a mother or a wife any more & can't do anything around the house. I sometimes feel that I am a waste of time. I haven't been sleeping well lately. Between the pain & the presure on my bladder, I wake several times a night & it sure doesn't make my depression any better with being tired & worn out. Robin
