Jess, to expand on what Dale said, the bone density test results should just be a few sheets of paper with charts and numbers (at least that's what mine were).
The numbers they are interested in are T-scores (and maybe Z-scores). My problem was determining which T-scores they wanted, because there were a few of them. I would ask Dr. Fenk-Mayer if she wants you to fax them to her before you get there, or if you should just bring the results with you.
I have stuff to do before I leave work, and getting ready for the trip. But I don't want to do a lot of it, especially the work stuff. I just want to be in Germany and have the surgery so that I can know what the result is likely to be. If I could fast forward three weeks, I would.
