I called all three neurologists today that I had phone numbers for from my STL ortho doctor. He forwarded me the names and numbers, but didn't make any personal calls. They are all part of the Wash-U network. My experience with them has been less than desirable in the past and today was no different. All three offices require a dr. referral letter in writing, medical records to be faxed to their office and then they will MAIL me a letter stating the date of the appointment. Two out of three are easily 6-8 week appointment waits, which I really feel is longer than I’ll be able to wait. We’ll see what happens, but I’m not real optimistic on these leads. I faxed 55 pages of the latest medical records to each office this afternoon – they asked for it! I’m sure it will take another week for someone to read those, make a decision on whether I merit an appt., and then mail me a letter.
Unless something else occurs easily or naturally, I’m done trying to make this happen. There is only so much I can do on my end. I am disappointed that none of my doctors will call and try to get me in sooner; We’ll see what I learn on March
10th and 11th and will go from there ….

Jenny...hearing the frustration in your voice...not that I blame you. I'd be "DONE" right about now, too. Wonder if the neurologists would take a referral from a doctor who is a DVM and not an MD...if you think so, lemme' at 'em! (Just kidding...I didn't think it would work, either...just wanted to make you smile). L Jo
Jenny, You know by now neurologists are notorious for having next to no personality to say the least. I do not quit understand them either. However, hopefully one of them will come out of the gas and get some action asap. I know your case has to be more urgent than some and there has to be some room in the appointment book for such cases as yours. Lets keep praying for one on them to take a look as the documents that you faxed and get the ball rolling every moment is importment. Thinking and praying. Love, Ted,Carol,Teddy
YO! Just checked in to be sure I had the appts right in my head...I know they're still T minus 9 and 10days away from today (the 1st), but one should still pray and start doing so EARLY. Thanks for your e-mail, my friend! I have 2 Juniors finishing snack and ready for bathtime, so I must bid you adieu! L Jo
Dear Jenny,
I have been totally out of the loop (which is why I commented on your shoes Friday night - so sorry for my insensitivity!). I'm glad you were in the prayer focus yesterday or I still would have been clueless. I can't begin to imagine.
Prayers and hugs,
Linda
Jenny, Just checking in to see if anymore progress has been made. I see that there is no new info so I guess everything remains the same. I will keep checking, praying and waiting for some better news. Love,Ted,Carol,Teddy
