Amy,
Enjoy your family time. It seems strang that the doctor gave you such a deadline. Maybe he is operating under "do something or clear the way for another patient." I certainly hope not and the he only suffers from a poor bedside manner. ditto to the suggestions for other opinions. you should insist upon this. Prayers for a speedy relief from the pain.
