Kurt, looks like your post got lost in the moderation process. Sounds like good news,I hope the progress continues. Was it the sling or AUS. We aren't allowed to mention doctors names but, people do mention hospitals.
Not sure if the private message facility is restricted by number of posts only, I can see you have been a member of the forum for a few years but only posted the odd post.
Best wishes for your future recovery.
Thanks Chris
