Then I had to go the state's appeal board, more quackery ensued but I refused to give up so after a while they relented and I got the surgery .

Your wife's back is more important than any one / thing else, I've been there and done that ~ get it fixed ASAP before more damage occurs .

Apparently these days they pretty much automatically deny all claims at first .
