I have lurked for quite some time. Reading and wondering and wishing that tricare would cover banding...and then. Oh how happy I was when I found out that Tricare did indeed see the light and begin to cover the banding procedures. I am now in the process of being approved for the banding process. Tomorrow will mark one week since I've seen my PCM and gotten the go ahead from him. I have stalked tricare daily since then to track the progress of my referral. I am eager to get the ball rolling. I have been married for 13 years to my very best friend and we have 2 amazing kiddos. Kiddos who I dont want to have this struggle. Kiddos who deserve a Mommy who can play w/them the way her heart longs to and her body wont allow. I look forward to making friends here who understand the demands and delights of military life. We are a Navy family but will soon be transitioning into the civilian life (eeek) as my husband will be retiring in 2012. I feel like I've blathered on for long enough :0)
