Yep It's True

I have finally been approved by the insurance company. In addition, I have a date of March 9th, if you can believe. By turns I am happy, terrified and generally feel like I am going to . Having given up on this happening, when I got the call it was like getting a right hook from Evander Holyfield or a complete body check from a non playing NHL enforcer! Thanks to everyone for allowing me into this world where I can ask all the questions that I have and for the support. It is greatly appreciated. Now I am going to go and be emotionally wreck for the next couple of hours, lol. So much to do and so little time, you all know how that goes. And I am telling no one at my job, other than my boss, so you can imagine how odd and weird that is at the same time. It is a month from today, holy crap!!! To Phyllis, hang in there and let me know how your fight is going. Having had a surgery date for last month and watching it slip away I know your frustration, call on me anytime if you need to vent, chat or whatever. To Cheryl - Thanks for keeping me from crying my eyes out yesterday. To Deb - Thanks for being my rock and for the help with my appeal letter. It made all the difference. I couldn't have done it without you guys!!! Smooches to All, NA

YEAH!!! I am so happy for you!! It was a long time coming, but you fought for what you deserve, and you got it!! Yes!! All the best to you, Anne

Great going!! You will do SWELL!!! Sher'

Congratulations! The time is going to fly, trust me! So much to do between now and then. This is a website that I used to help me prepare for the hospital and beyond...I found it VERY HELPFUL! http://www.geocities.com/cindyswls/HelpfulHints.html Good luck and keep us posted! Ann 101lbs GONE!

I am, as I've told you, SO very happy for you!! My goodness, the beginning of a new life is just around the corner for you. How exciting! How nerve wracking! You have every right to be full of emotions! Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for you. Maybe it's time for tea again! Just give my a call any time! Best, Lisa C

You are so sweet, thank you. My time will come and I am expecially hopeful after hearing you got approved. I am do the happy dance for you! Congrats again!!! xoxo, Phyllis

N A, I definitely feel what you are going through. I found out yesterday that my date is 3/16 and ever since then I have had butterflies in my stomach. I'm alternating between being deathly afraid to being incredibly happy. It makes me feel better that I am not alone and congratulations to you!

Anytime hun. And if you need to cry those eyes out, you go right ahead!!! I will see you on Sunday. Call me ANYTIME! love, Cheryl

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I appreciate all the support and kind words. It is my great fortune to have found all of you on OH. Without the support we have for one another this already emotional strenuous journey would be even more difficult. Thanks, NA

Congrats! I was so happy to read this post! It warmed my HEART!!!! I know how you feel too, after getting my approval call, I described the feeling as getting hit in the head with a brick! And then I just cried for hours. I'm so proud of you for sticking with it! I hope to see you at a meeting soon!!!! Love, Tammy
