Hi Cathy,
Do you have to wait for your records to send to Dr. B before you can schedule surgery? I don't know about him but the Drs. I went to had at least several weeks or more wait before I could schedule. Air fares may be a little cheaper now as it is off season but after April it might be different. I look on Sidestep to get an idea what the fares might be. I guess you do have a lot to do.

I have a hunch that your Drs. will continue to see you when you get back. I have gone back to Drs. that I did not use for the procedures they recommended and they still saw me again. I hope that you can get everything taken care of since it sounds like your time frame is approaching fast. Once you have all your dates together you will feel better. You have a lot to do and I am sure you are feeling pretty stressed about getting everything done especially working too. I hope that everything falls in place for you soon.
Phylly
