Thanks everyone!
We finally got notice that our referral went through.
Our appt with the neurosurgeon is next Friday 4/29 at 11am...but we need to be there at 9:30am in order for Jim to get some flexation x-rays done.
We don't know if this will be of the thoracic area or of the original lumbar injury area or both....but if I'm not mistaken, x-rays aren't used to determine the cause of neurologic deficit....they look at bones, positioning of bones, calcification of disc material, etc....so not very sure what he wants them for...hopefully to start mapping out a surgical plan...but I'm still a little gun shy about getting my hopes up.
At least they got us in within two weeks of seeing the neuro and within one and a half weeks of getting the referral! I think that's pretty darned good!
