So....today started with me calling my insurance company. They told me they had received my paperwork for pre-authorization and that I had been approved. So - I hang up. Shaking from excitment and fear all mixed into one. I realize that I have forgotten to ask the woman at the insurance a question. I wait a while and call back. The woman then tells me that she was wrong. The Auth # she had was old and from a cancelled pre-authorization and that she had not received any of my new paperwork. I went from high to the lowest of lows in just hours. I was so upset. I knew I was still going to get this done, but when was the big question! So.....here I am sitting at work waiting for 5 o'clock to arrive and my cell phone rings. It is my surgeons office. I have been APPROVED....they want me to get my endoscopy next week and have surgery by the end of THIS MONTH. OK....now I am on complete emotional overload. My idea was mid next month....this month?? I guess I should join the February group right? hehe It is all so real now.....I cant believe this is happening!!!
