Well - Maybe MUCH Faster, Grasshopper!!!

Last installment was that I was in for a delay because I needed a completely reworked letter for the insurance company from my PCP.

Two days after hearing this from the surgeon's office, I came back from a meeting at work to find THREE phone calls from the surgeon's office. I was thinking "Oh gosh! What other challenges await me!?!"

Well...the calls were to tell me that I was APPROVED! Even without the reworked PCP letter!

Since then has been a blur...I've had my 2nd meeting with the surgeon, have a big long list of tests to get taken care of, have my surgery date (07/29), have my nutritional appointments made, etc.

I am REALLY EXCITED. I think I was truly expecting some other issue to come up, or the insurance company to say NO, or something!

WOW! Every day, almost on a continual basis, I think to myself "In a year, I won't be wearing this size clothes" or "I won't have to turn sideways to get out of the shower" or "I won't be exhausted from walking from one building to the other". It's like I'm living in a whole new world.

Amazing!
