Jess
Jess, glad that is done. I have mine last week and will get the results soon. I am going to see the Ortho surgeon at my HMO to discuss surgery although I do not think I will have them do it. Long story. They did require another xray and more tests and have long question list so I feel I'm starting to make progress.
Hope the banks will help me out. HMO appt. is in three weeks and have appts. in NY with Dr. Bervin in June and another appt. with Dr. Neuwirth in NYC also. More later.
