Thank you ladies

When I went for the MRI I pleaded my case to the lady at the desk, and only had to pay $100... thank God.

I looked at my old MRIs, and those old herniations at C4-5 and C6-7 never went away. They haven't caused me any significant problems since 2009, so they would have just been dismissed as incidental findings. I got a disk with the new images and it looks to me like the herniations are worse, but I'm not a radiologist or doctor, and I'm definitely not nearly skilled enough to tell if there is any nerve impingement or not, but I have the symptoms...
I'm looking forward to getting the results. I have no idea when to expect them though.

I texted my aunt yesterday and the plan is to meet up with her today after she goes to see my father. I'll make an educated guess that the visit between them won't go well, and will be ready to go early.
