Almost there YEA

Hey all; I have found out that I have met my deductible for my insurance and I am going to see a pulmonoligst? for sleep apnea and then I should be able to see the surgeon for a pre-op appointment. Since I have met my deductible my insurance will pay 100% of the bill. I just have to get them to use hospital dr. cleveland uses to be an in-network hosp. and I will have it made. Keep me in your prayers that it will all come through before Jan. 1, 2006. My insurance ded. starts over again. On another note. I am a grandma. YEA she was born Oct 30,2005. She is health and it is wonderful. I cannot wait to see pictures of her. My son lives in Va. Beach area and I am trying to save all of my vacation for the surgery. Steph

Wonderful Steph, I'm praying for you! This is great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the sisterhood of grandmotherhood. It's great!!! Spoil the child then send it home for the parents to deal with!!!!! We'll show each other pictures when we meet!!! Tomanip

Hey Tomanip; Have you goten my e-mails. How were all your test , did they come out good.?? Thanks It is great to have a grandchild. They guys at work are giving me H**l. nothing i can't handle though. i can hardly wait to be on the loosing side. I have been having some problems with this sight. it will not update or it will do crazy stuff. i would have to get all of the way out of the browser and start over. Steph

Congrats Steph!!!!! I am so happy for you. I know it seems 4 ever and ever before you get from point A to point B, but........you are well on your way. You are im prayers that you will get your surgery before the end of the year! WE missed you at the Bash! I didn't even think about it,but you could have rode with hubby and I. God Bless, Jo

Thanks so much. I had full intentions on going to the bash but something told me to stay at home. I had a friend call and they were going through a crisis and i was glad that i was at home. I am soo glad to almost be at the end where i can have surgery. Thanks for the support. steph

Hiya Steph first off, CONGRATS on that grandbaby!! I hope that the mommy and baby ( and daddy LOL ) are doing well and hope that you get to see her soon!! My oldest was born in Va Beach as well, what a wonderful place. I miss it sometimes. Anyways.. Also glad to hear that things are falling in place for you. Maybe you can just get them all to get into gear so you can have your surgery before the turn of the fiscal year so you can save on having to pay your annual deductible again right away. Geez I used to really hate those deductibles. We never met ours. Except the ONE year I changed my insurance to a higher deductible ( Thought, well we NEVER meet the 350 per person, let's hike it to 1000 since that would make the premiums cheaper!! ) and that's when lo and behold I GOT PREGNANT grrrrr... I was upset LOL So let us know how things go for you. We missed u at the bash! Maybe you can make it to the next one!! Take care in this cold weather! And God Bless ~Andie~

Hi Andie; Well my deductible is 3000.00 per person. yuk! but i have met it this year just by going to the doc about the surgery so now they will pay 100%. I miss Va Beach myself. I am glad things have been going well for you. Everyone is great. I don't know when I will make it up there to see them. I am saving my vac. for the surgery so that I can still have an income. short term is very low in miss. steph

Congratulations! You deserve it. Sonya Sumrall

Thanks so much, I feel like i have had to fight the whole way to make sure stuff is done. I will be delighted when I am on the losing side. Steph

I just cannot get over that you are a grandmother. You just dont look old enough! I do hope and pray you get your date before the 1st of the year. I have my fingers, toes, and everything else I can cross crossed for you! Congrats on the baby!
