Hey, Gurl!!!!!!! I feel your excitement!!!!!!!! I am SO happy for you!!!
((hugs))

Hooray!!! HMSA is the bomb!!!

did you do all your other tests yet? i just got  my approval for surgery last week tuesday. YAY!!!!!!!!! and just waiting for DERA to give me a call back with my appt dates. it's gonna be about the same time as yours or the beginning of nov. i think.  she's gonna try and see if i can do an overnight thing since i'm off island too. i'm so excited girl, seems like a long wait, but i'm trying to be patient, but its SOOOOOO hard. anyway, congrats to you and good luck!  and yeah, HMSA is the bomb. they paid for my trip over there earlier this month. i did an overnight thing. went to the seminar and my consult the next day. but the HMSA travel coordinator was cool. i was really worried about being on the plane in those small seats and dealing with the embarrassment. my friend told me to call hawaiian air cause she heard that they make you buy 2 seats if you're really big (like me), and sure enough. i called the day before my flight, and HMSA was closed already for the day, i was so depressed and panicked. i worked a half day the next day and at 8am sharp i was on that phone to hmsa. i explained the situation to them and was told the travel coordinator would call the airlines to see if they had any seats available(the flight was super packed), and WHOO HOO, she called me back w/i 15 min to tell me everything was allright and it was good to go. so at least now i know and no more problems in that area. but yeah, thank GOD  allright. its all just a fricken adventure..............

You will probably get your date of let me see Nov. 3 - 7.  That is my guess.  He gives dates really fast.   I would call on 10/24/08 and let Mary know that all your preops are done and she will give you a date then.  OMG you are almost there.  I have excercise class at 5:15 that day at Castle I will see you there.
