Christine -

It's only with careful consideration and analysis of what we've been through that we can better determine if the system could or should be adjusted.

I posed the question as a thread and offered up some of my personnel experience associated with the transition from treatment.

The PT team I'm working with has been trying to assist the ENT's in developing a system that would get patients into PT much earlier and potentially be more beneficial in terms of long term quality of life. My intent was to "test the water" and see if my experience is typical or atypical.

It sounds like this subject has been discussed before and would therefore not be worthwhile to proceed.
