I am APPROVED!!!

After going 12 rounds with CIGNA for the past week, it finally paid off. I got a call from the Supervisor at CIGNA today telling me I was approved. 5 minutes later, Odalys from Dr. Jawad's office was calling me to tell me also. I go in for pre-op on July 6th and then I have my surgery on July 12th. I could have gotten a date of June 27th, however I am not ready for it yet. Stuff at work to take care of beforehand. So while eveyone else will be celebrating the 4th of July as their INDEPENDENCE DAY, my new INDEPENDENCE DAY will be July 12th,2006. Thanks to all for their help and suggestions. I could not have done this without all of the support of the most important person in the world, MY WIFE LISA. I love you.

Woooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo Baby!!!!!!!!! This is so exciting, better than winning an ebay bid even!! (wink) Hey- 7/12/06 spells out S1C0M- is that like 'Sic 'em!' Go get 'em? Hmmm- I better work on that...... So, lots of hard work behind us, and some hard work ahead but we are ready. I know you will do so well hunnybear, and you know I am with you ever single step of the way. Woooooooo hooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Love you. XOXOXOXOOXOXOXX
