JUST TALKED A LITTLE W/ DR. BELZBURGS OFFICE/JOHNS HOPKINS FINACIAL PEOPLE----SURGERY FEES ON MY PART START AROUND $10,000-------ANYBODY KNOW ANY GROUPS THAT CAN HELP FUND COSTS?
I STILL HAVE TO HAVE INITIAL APPT. AND DETERMINE SUITABILITY OF PROCEDURE IN MY CASE, BUT I THOUGHT I'D START ASKIN' QUESTIONS ABOUT FINANCIAL AID---JOHNS HOPKINS DOES NOT ACCEPT OUT-OF-STATE MEDICAIDE OR SOMETHING SO MY SS MEDICARE COVERS VERY LITTLE.AT THE VERY LEAST I WANT TO SEE BELZBURG FOR PAIN MANAGMENT IDEAS. HE'S THE EXPERT--THESE OTHER P.M. GUYS ARE JUST GUESSING AND TREATING ME FOR ARTHRITIS/"PHANTOM LIMB SYNDROM". THANX---RONIN

PS---GOT MY HARLEY FXDX BACK ON THE ROAD--I'M BACK IN THE SADDLE
