We have achieved a medical breakthrough. We finally got Dr. Endsley to Fax a referral and Lou's records to the Spinal Institute and now have an appointment with Dr. Siadati at 2 p.m. January 31 in Fort Worth. Lou now has to fill out the paper work that I downloaded from their site which is fwbsi.com if you are interested. Hopefully we can schedule the surgery soon to relieve her pain. This morning she walked for the first time in a week and got all the way to the highway. It didn't aggravate her back too much. Tomorrow we will pick up the MRI films to take to Siadati next Wednesday.

If you want a complete history of the Comanche/Texan war read Blakely's COME SUNDOWN. I am at the point where the protagonist has just purchased war supplies for the Comanches as they prepare for the attack by Kit Carson's Union troops. Can't wait to read the battle stories.
