There's more to this: You've left out crucial information. You have "all 3 signs" of NPH. But do you have NPH? Diagnosis of NPH is supported by MRI, nuclear cisternography, &/or large-volume LP. I infer that your neurologist did these tests but they were negative for NPH. Why else would (s)he refer you to OHSU? Without a clear diagnosis, it's hard to say if delay will hurt you. Make sure your NEUROLOGIST is aware.

Appropriate approach: By now, you should be in good hands at OHSU and believe appropriate interventions can improve your situation.
