Got some good news from my SIL a bit ago. My brother had hip surgery this morning and seems everything went well! We'll have to see how his recuperation goes, he's never been known for being good at following directions.

Hog tie him down!

I am hoping the pain gets better!

Me too, but i think it is likely to take time to get an MRI, get the results and then the doctor needs to suggest options. If they need to do surgery, it will take time to schedule that. So i figure a minumum of 2-3 weeks before i am able to get anything done. And after about 10 days like this with no improvement, i am not optimistic. I just have to try to keep myself distracted.

It takes a frustrating long time to get things like this fixed!

Exactly! And i had to insist on getting a referral right away. They wanted me to wait and see what happens.

Hang around here Cap, plenty to distract you with!

Cap, DW had to report the insurance company to the state regulators to get her MRI approved. Been dealing with pain for almost a year... Two different docs requesting the MRI. Disproved. One call to the state and suddenly "Approved".

Getting the referral can take time and then waiting for the MRI appt.

All the while in pain

So ridiculous! I will keep that in mind.
