Thanks Portia....the EBD procedure is now scheduled on August 9 at Yale, and I will report back thereafter.
FYI for anyone living in CT and treating at Yale: they are still requiring that anyone having a procedure at Yale obtain a negative Covid test (even if you are fully vaccinated) within 72 hours of the procedure, or no procedure for you. Also, the person accompanying you must be masked. So, I also have to schedule a Covid test.
