Guess what everyone!!!!
Since I called the insurance company to find out if I was approved, I have to wait for the letter in the mail. The doctors office needs the letter before they schedule the surgery. They mailed the letter yesterday so it shouldn't be long!!!
I will be able to take the time off. My boss has known about my plans since the very beginning and has been one of my biggest cheerleaders. The bummer is that although I have short term disability it only pays 70% of my salary so I was going to use my vacation time to make up the difference. But I used all my vacation time up for my mom's funeral. So finances will be tight. Its so worth it.
