Hi Mike D,
Thanks. You're right about going with instinct; I wasn't going to change my plans. But, I wanted to ease my son's worries.
I dug deeper for more information on Dr. Bose and DeltaMotion to give to my son. As it turns out, so did he. My daughter, who lives in California is very familiar with people travelling overseas for medical care, has been supportive. But knowing that her brother was uncomfortable, started looking as well. We've all done some research, so we were all delving into databases, websites and published papers, not knowing that the other was doing the same. When I spoke with my son today, he started the conversation with "well, I've come around". He went on to tell me about his search and that, while he found quite a bit of information about Dr. Bose, he couldn't find anything negative. Then he told me that he had spoken with his sister, who added the 'all positive' results of her search. It wasn't necessary for me to add mine. He knows how important my decision is, now knows that Dr. Bose is the 'real thing' and agrees that I need to do whatever I feel is right. If having Dr. Bose do the THR is what I feel is right, he's behind me all the way. Shortly after, I spoke with my daughter. She wants to be there for me and so has decided to go with me to Chennai.
The day really couldn't be any nicer.
Have a good one,
