I understand your reasoning that if you don't do the rehab
before getting it to run the rehab may take a long time to
start. I've gone that route.
And, $60 to Down Under is less expensive than shipping from
Germany to Brooklyn. $60 sounds like a bargain.
I vote for a rehab-to-run first and then get right into that
nasty base leg problem. But what do I know.
Good Luck,
