Just got approved-waiting for a date- LOTS of ????? Help Please!
Jan 18 2005 I told Blue Cross "Shame on you" because they kept giving me the run around for almost one whole year. I called them every day and finally got my PCP in the act. The next day they called me to let me know I had been approved!!! I thought I would get a date soon but now I've been told by my surgeon's secretary that she will get back with me in a week. It seems like I have waited so long that I just want a date to look forward to. I am trying to walk and exercise more and more. I want my stamina to be as best it can be prior to surgery. I have so many questions that I need to make a list...like can I load up on liver and stuff to boost my iron before surgery? Can I do the same with calcium and B vitimins as well as regular vitamins? I have two friends who almost died on the table. I have some questions regarding their experience. I've already encountered a hospital staff infection from a past surgery at Saint Thomas. What can be done to prevent that? Am I now pre-disposed to getting a staff infection? So many questions and so few answers. I guess I will have to wait until my appointment.
