Cat,
My email is in my signature. PM stands for private message, another way of communicating. So, I'll send you a "PM" and wait for your email too. Look for the private message in the blue tabs.
Bottom line: I'm happy to help you get up to speed quickly, as there are many info resources herein. More importantly, you can connect with some really good spine patients who can help you get the information you need to continue on your path -- hopefully to wellness.
