You can try having fund raisers too to help raise money to go. First
you will need to send your surgical reports to the Dr. Then if he
thinks he can help you, he will give you a surgical date. Actually, the
first thing you need to do is get a passport! It can sometimes take up
to 3 months. Why don't you email me rmasse2333@aol.com & I will help
you get all the information that you will need. Any one that wants
informationa about going to Germany can email me. I love talking about
my trip, my surgeris & Dr Korell. I will do what ever I can to help
anyone that wants Dr Korell to do their next surgery.
love
