You got it. I would also suggest that you have some professional quality photographs taken of your legs ASAP and see if your pm doc. can hold off submitting the referral by a couple of days, so the pics can be in the package. (I know that in my case - a too many years ago - some shots of my almost flourescent red feet against a solid white background made a big difference at a crucial time.)
