 Through shear persistance I was able to get the discogram moved up a week to Wednesday the 24th.  
 I have also gotten in touch with Dr. Henry at The Texas Back Institute who performs VATS endoscopic thoracic spine surgery.  I was able to make an appointment with him for next Tuesday.  It will be a tortuous 7 hour drive to see him, but I have no other choice.
