*Faints*

I am APPROVED!!! I lost it on the poor woman on the phone. I said, "Are you sure?"  She said yes that it was approved on 7-9! I cried. Just busted out like a bafoon! I was crying and just kept saying thank you. I must have sounded like a big idiot.  She was probably thinking this poor fat woman is gonna have a heart attack and die before she makes it to surgery!   I couldn't comprehend that she was telling the truth!  That was WAY more of a shock than I expected. Now I'm in panic mode because it's REALLY going to HAPPEN!  I'm so excited! I'm very grateful I didn't have to go back and wait for another '2 weeks'... I've had months of '2 weeks'!! I was lucky they just opened the eval and sent me on through. So, those in process... call insurance at least twice a week and be firm but nice! The notes they made about my checking in helped me not have to wait for another review. I was lucky. Hugs.

  I am doing the happy dance with you!  That is one awesome call to get!! When they called me all I could say was "Praise the Lord!"  So I understand excitement.  Do you have a date yet?

It's one awesome call to MAKE!  No date yet... I knew before the doc! They should get the notice in a day or two so maybe next week we shall know something. Thanks for dancing with me! Hugs

YES! Soooooo HAPPY for ya!  Finally, that was the longest 2 weeks I have ever heard of! LOL

Wendy, Thanks for the cat photo. You made my 6 year olds night!!! -Chareen

Congrats, and I'm so happy for you!  I did the same thing when they told me I was approved and my face hurt by the end of the day from smiling so much, but it's a wonderful feeling, isn't it?  I'll save you a spot!! woo hooooooo Nancy

lol My face doesn't hurt, but I sure cried so hard my head thought it would explode! I have the worst headache.  Only I could manage that! Thanks for the kind words. Warm that bench up 'cause I'm comin'. Hugs

Wonderful news, Shawana! So happy for you. Great things await you on the loser's side. :O) Mare

Thanks, Mare. Great things are awaiting you, too. Just go smack them upside the head at the insurance company! Hang in there and at the rate it goes for me to hear from the surgeon, you will be on that bench before I am!  Hugs

I'm so very happy for you! Please be sure to let us know when you have your surgery date. I'm dusting off a seat on the loser's bench just for you!
