On Tuesday, I was officially referred to a surgeon and I was told this could be a very slow process - maybe months! A nurse from the surgeon's office called on Wednesday and talked with me for a good half hour. Then she said my info would go to the triage nurse and I would be called in the next few days. (I have since learned there are MANY people waiting for back surgery and waiting weeks or months is common.) Anyway, I got a call on Friday and I have an appointment on February 4.
After all I've learned, I'm glad this appointment is only 3 weeks away. The pain continues and I'm still learning patience!
