Can't really help in the cervical question. But definitely, if you don't hear from Dr. Balderston's office within a week or so, call over to follow up. The one thing I'll say about that office is that it can get a bit crazy over there sometimes. They are located directly in Pennsylvania Hospital, so there have been a couple times I was there and had to wait a long time because an emergency case derailed schedules. I personally was willing to overlook that in lieu of the excellent care I received while going there pre and post-op. Plus, I've gotten to the point where I just always take entertainment to doctor appointments so I don't get bored... just in case. LOL
Good luck. Hopefully you get some good advice from Dr. B.
