I tried to contain myself but I can't any longer. LOL I have a DATE on the books, can you believe it?!

On Monday, Dr. Buchwald's assistant gave me a date of July 8th, but put a lil-eensie-weensie stipulation in there that I need my approval by 6/23 to hold it. Well, I've got my last NUT appt. on 6/2 so they'll submit to insurance on 6/3 and it's going to be tight, but my team (Tammy Bishop & Metro Law) is ready to go if we have to appeal and so we're hoping we can have it approved by 6/23. If not, I'll be begging you all to call Dr. B.'s assistant on my behalf and make her hold that July date for me! LOL July 8th holds a special place in my heart for a specific reason and so this has been my "sign" that I'm good to go, if ya know what I mean. Please keep this date for me in your prayers if you will, please - or swing a chicken or a lizard, or whatever it is that you do for good things to be. Thank you all, I'm so glad we're here together on this board! xoxo ~Amy~

Amy, I'm so happy for you, And yes if it could stay on that date it would be wonderful, I see how it is so special. You must be bouncing off the walls.

You've waited so long and been so patient. We have to celebrate when you find out the decision from Insurance. Kelly
