Can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I've posted! So let me get caught up here. My surgery date is Tuesday. Yep...this Tuesday! Nerves on edge. Not so much for the surgery, but worried about running in to insurance issues. I don't even know for sure whether I am covered for this. I have CareFirst BC/BS of MD, and have completed (finally) all their requirements. I have several of the comorbidity issues. I would think that my surgeon would have said something if they weren't going to cover it. Right? Am calling on Monday just to ease this stress. I had a nightmare Saturday night that I had the surgery, life was good, and then all of a sudden I'm in prison with some of the scariest fellas you'd ever seen. And all thru the dream I'm desperately trying to figure out why I'm in prison. Well after what seemed like forever, I'm finally in the warden's office demanding to know why I'm there and he says, "Because your insurance didn't cover your surgery and you couldn't pay the bill!!! :thumbdown: Woke up in a real tizzy that's for sure! Ugh! I'm such a procrastinator about EVERYTHING! Spent most of the weekend reading posts about insurance issues. Seems like there shouldn't be a problem. Am trying to stay positive and deep down I'm sure my surgeon and her associates in the office are on the ball. There a great bunch of people! Still going to call Monday AM because I know I won't sleep that night as it is! Will blog back on Monday!

 

And so it goes.......
