I just found out there was a La. board.

HI. all , My name is Sondra and I am fairly new to this site. I always head to the main board and just happened to notice that there was a board for Louisiana. I was surprised so I thought I would come and check it out. It would be nice to talk to others so close to home. I am in Sulphur, not far from Lake Charles. I just got my go ahead from the insurance co. last week. I was denied and then approved three days later. My date for surgery is set for August 2nd. but I am going to have to call Gilda Monday and move it because of money.. seems like there is always something standing in my way. Hopefully the set back will only be for two weeks. We cant go much later than that because I need to be healed before my new grandbaby arrives in mid September.. Ooooh looks like I have been rambling again.. sorry .. I tend to do that someitmes...lol.. I am looking forward to getting to know you all...
