Thanks for the welcome!
I am looking forward to my appointment with Dr. Sudan on Friday and will certainly let you know how it all goes. I called Tricare yesterday and talked to a very nice woman who tried to explain things to me. I'm still confused, but I think that it will all work out.
My hubby leaves for the mobilization site - Ft. Riley, this week. That will take him 4 hours from home. I still plan on spending Christmas together wherever that may be! The best present we can have will be being together AND me getting a surgery date!
Anyway - Happy Holidays everyone!
