Now I wait...UGGGH

SOOOOO, today is the day. Jamie with Dr. Masons office said that they have sent out my paperwork to Great West. :eek: Dr Mason wrote my LMN yesterday to send with the package. Soooooo, now I WAIT! ACK!!! Jamie suggested giving GW at least one week, then call them to follow up. She will do the same.

Im so frickin nervous. My goodness. What if I dont get approved? What if I have to appeal? What if's are going to kill me. ugggh.

On another note, I went to the Pain Specialist today--Dr Gray. Who said basically that they wanted to try using steroid injections into my lower back--L4-L5 to help with the inflamation etc. He also gave me another muscle relaxer and a med to help with the nerves. My appointment isnt until August 5th! :phanvan SOOOO meanwhile I take it easy, and yada yada.

So everyone keep me in your prayers...Approx a week is what Jamie generally gives GW. Though, I have seen where it can be within 24 hours. KEEP ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS!!! Thanks!!!
