Hi Guys So I have had a little bit of a hectic week. I got a letter earlier in the week from the insurance co saying they need like 10 things from me. So of course I was angry called and found out they only need 2 things. Finally got them from my pcp yesterday and faxed them to my surgeon.........

So today I had to go to downtown Baltimore for 1/2 day training for work and I just hate downtown traffic...then back to work in Dundalk till 3 then had to leave early to take my son who has had chronic strep throat since Easter (tonsils being removed on June10th) all the way to Abington to see his ENT Dr. because she was at that office today. So after all that I think oh shot I should call Aetna to see if they got that info I faxed the surgeon yesterday. So here I am leaving the dr office thinking I have to feed my son and get him to baseball in a little over an hour. So I am driving and in nutty traffic again cause its 5PM. I decided to call Aetna and they lady says O yeah we got that fax this morning and you have been APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW instantly bad day over GREAT DAYS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So of course my 1st instinct is to call the Dr office and they were closed. So then I called everyone to tell them talking at 50 miles an hour telling them. SO of course my supervisor at work is on vacation till Tues so I dont think I will be able to actually schedule my surgery till she comes back and can look at my schedule with me. Sorry this is so long just wanted to let you knwo the full affect of the story.
