Default Tricycle wheels vs Mercedes wheels Update

I'm still spinning my tricycle wheels in the US getting nowhere. I can't tell you how disappointed I am. I'm very glad I didn't rely on just the US medical system for answers or I would be very depressed by now. Phoenix has such a huge population compared to specialists that it makes it very hard to get anything done in this state medically sometimes. Unfortunately, my insurance requires that I stay in Arizona. I am not confident I will find an ADR surgeon here that will work for me.

I expect that by this time next week I should have some answers from Dr. Zeegers.

For some reason Malte has not looked at my lumbar and thoracic MRIs that I sent him on the 18th. I'm a bit frustrated with Dr. Bierstedt's office right now. I sent a follow-up email to him on Thursday and still didn't hear anything. It's not giving me a warm and cozy feeling.

I sent a package to Dr. Clavel's office on Thursday and am waiting to hear back from Yolanda.

P.S. Cozy feeling is back. I just got a message that Malte joined the Dropbox Folder with the new MRI images! I guess it must have been a busy week for him so he's catching up on the weekend.
