HEY BRITTAIN, (cool name) THANKS TO YOU AND EVERYONE FOR MAKING ME FEEL SO WELCOME ON THE S.C. BOARD. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE W/ MY INS. CO. INFACT I HAVE TWO CO-WORKERS WHO HAD GBS LAST YEAR W/O ANY QUESTIONS FROM INS. CO. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THEY HAD SURGERY AT CONWAY MED. CENTER AND I'VE DECIDED ON MUSC. AS FAR AS MY PCP COMING THROUGH HE'S WONDERFUL. TO LET YOU KNOW HOW GREAT HE IS, HE CALLED ME YESTERDAY (SATURDAY) TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT I WANT WRITTEN IN THE LETTER. HOW COOL IS THAT? I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS ALL BEHIND ME AND START A NEW BEGINING THANKS FROM THE SOUTHERN FRIED YANKEE, DONNA

Welcome, welcome, welcome Ms Donna. Be sure to check this board as there are a lot of gals who meet to support each other. I'm sure there is a group near you. You will love Dr Byrne & the staff on his surgery wing. Most of us in the Lowcountry are MUSC grads! Don't give up on the insurance fight ... It is soooooooo worth it no matter what you have to go through. God bless you ... Dawn & Nick

LADY D, LADY D, LADY D, FIRST LET ME THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PROFILE. THE INSIGHTS AND ADVISE YOU HAVE GIVEN ARE FANTASTIC. DISPITE ALL THE SETBACKS YOU HAVE HAD YOU ALWAYS GIVE AN UPLIFTING FEELING TO EVERYONE. AS I SAID IN MY INTRO I'M ONE OF THOSE THICK HEADED TRANSPLANTED YANKEES AND WILL CON'T TO FIGHT FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES. , , ( INSURANCE HOOPS) MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE IN HIS LOVING ARMS. DONNA

You are most welcomed, Ms Donna. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I am so far behind on updating my profile that it is embarrassing ... Gotta get my behind in gear! Now that I feel soooooooooooooooooooooooo much better, I'm busier than I've been in years so I find that I am behind in things I used to have time for! What a fantastic "problem" to have ... Being healthy enough to be busy!!!! Well, we're sisters for sure ... I'm a transplanted HARD-HEADED YANKEE as well ... Pittsburgh, PA &, yes, yes, yes ... We are a stubborn ... Oops, I should say, a "determined" bunch! I was really glad to see that you wrote your own letter to go along with your packet going to your insurance company. I really believe in being pro-active from the get-go. I've been suggesting this tactic forever. Thank you for His blessing ... I can always use the Lord's blessings! God bless you ... Dawn & Nick

Welcome, Donna!! Insurance sucks. I will pray that they approve SOON!! Keep us updated! ~Elizabeth

ELIZABETH, ONCE AGAIN I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU. THE WELCOMES I HAVE RECEIVED ARE TREMENDOUS. YEAH THE INSURANCE CO'S DO SUCK BUT WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT THEM. I JUST THANK TO GOOD LORD THAT THE HOSP I WORK W/ OFFERS ITS. AS FOR MEDCOST I'LL DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO GET THE GO AHEAD FOR THIS SURGERY OR GO CRAZY TRYING . THANKS AGAIN, DONNA
