I have 5 tattoos. My first one is a semicolon on my wrist. It symbolizes that I will go on no matter what my struggles were in the past. My second one was a mountain range on my other wrist. I love the mountains and my soul truly feels at home when I'm there. The 3rd is a broken arrow on my left ring finger. Though my path is broken, I continue forward. The 4th is a Number 3 in calligraphy on the ring finger of my left hand. It symbolizes my 3 children. And the 5th is the one pictured. It is a Viking stave that represents safe passage through rough seas/safe journey. I got this one just this past week.

I am on Federal BCBS also. My advice is to call every other day and find out if it was approved. I found out 5 days after submission of my paperwork that I was approved. I called my clinic and my surgery was scheduled that day.

Yes, call! They will tell you. My husband was approved in 1 day, but the letter didn't come saying so for 3 more days! Mine took a couple days and letter followed, but I still called
