This past week has been especially tough for me. I am a very optimistic person and have a very high pain tolerance.Between a chronic pain level of 7 - 8 (that's with Demerol,Flexeril and Amitriptyline) and the stress caused by Comp cutting my temporary total disability benefits off last October,I lost hope and for the first time,I was sinking into a depression. Speaking to Anita relieved a lot of stress and anxiety and I seem to have regained my optimism.I very much appreciate the support on this forum and I don't feel alone in this journey anymore. 
Can those of you who have gone to Germany tell me about your experiences, ie.flights,accomodations,hospitalization,etc?
