I called the UCSF Spine Center scheduling department today because I hadn’t received a call from them (doctors are always much more optimistic on how soon appointments can be set up). No one picked up so I left a message for Collette (her voicemail message said she made call-backs between 9 — 10am and 1 — 2pm – it was 1:15pm). She actually called back within 10 minutes. She asked when I wanted to have the surgery. I said anytime except yesterday. Heck, I could be there in 30 minutes! She said she could get me for sure on the 11th of August, but would call me if there was a cancellation sooner. While that’s a couple of weeks, I was relieved. When I called to schedule the original consultation meeting with Dr. Tay, the date I got was given had been six weeks out. I will need to meet with Dr. Tay prior to the actual surgery, and Collette said she’d call me back with all of the details. Almost there!
