Thank-you Jeff. I'm very happy to hear that they do multilevel. It's been almost two weeks since we've overnighted the paperwork for new patients to Texas Back. We haven't heard from them. I did leave a message on someone's machine asking when we'd hear something.

Our new local doctor, wanted him to cut back on the Gabapentin; so now, he's in a lot more pain. Steve's wanting to try a chiropractor, but I don't think it's a good move with a herniated disc. He's also considering an epidural injection. Most of these ideas stem from wanting to get rid of the pain while we wait to hear from TX Back.

Our insurance does pay for one level (I have it in writing). We will have to pay for the second level. I did the math and it's cheaper than doing it in Germany and paying for the whole thing.

I'm very relieved to hear that two of the doctors at Texas Back do multilevel. Now, if we can make contact...
