Hooray... I finally bit the bullet and checked out the physical therapy at one of my local hospital and was in for a couple of pleasant surprises. First, when
she asked me what I had been diagnosed with and said syringomyelia, she knows what it is. That's very promising:) Then when I asked about the co-pays she
told me they bill the insurance first, then the following month they bill me, and I can make payments on it, instead of paying the whole bill every month:) At
least this is going good. I'll let you know how it goes
