He should go ahead with the tests and treatment as recommended. I do not think you should go ahead with surgery until I return on 3/17. Did the MRI show a ruptured disc with pressure on the spinal cord? Of course if the problem gets worse and it's an emergency, go ahead with the surgery, and I can return anytime since I have trip interruption insurance for emergency. Otherwise I will phone you when I return and discuss when I can get there to discuss your case with the Dr. We just arrived in Delhi, India yesterday after our trip in Bhutan. I will try to check email daily so keep me informed. Love, Dad and Gail
