just get off these boards and get your surgery (and have your ortho work supervised by them!!!) done by ARNETT and GUNSON. DOn't even waste time with ANYTHING else.
Also, 3 months is a f**king ridiculous time to wait for the surgeon to okay ortho work. That s**t should be conducted in a week.
Seriously bro, you're wasting your own and everyone else's time if you don't go with them.
