Contacted Advanced Radiology for scans (they lost my previous HIPPA release so had to fax me another one), St. Luke's (x-rays - they faxed a HIPPA release), Gnaden Huetton (ditto) and Palmerton Hospital (ditto). Signed and sent all those back. Now it's back to the waiting game. I'm sure this HIPPA thing is good for some people but it sure is a pain in the butt. If insurance companies can get all my information and the govt. can get all my information without me having to sign a HIPPA each time, you'd think another hospital could do it too. Oh well. Government strikes again.

Rebecca from Dr. Cooper's office called today to let me know they got my CTscans. However, she is going on vacation and won't be able to review them with Dr. Cooper until after 8/16/06. I told her no problem; I was happy to hear they got them. She's going to Russia. How neat! Anyway, once again, hurry up and wait.
