Bummed....date changed

I got another phone call from Lisa at MUSC today. I figure it is one of three things; I am approved (not yet), I am dissapproved (not that either), or the insurance company needs MORE information. (You guessed it). Now they want a PFT test and a Peptic Ulser test. Man, does the list ever end? So I went right over to my primary care Doctor's office and left a note with the receptionist and request them. Within an hour the nurse called me and said for me to come into the office tomorrow and have the test. Yeaaaaaaaa. I was so happy that I didn't have to wait a week or so. I have been stressing that the date of Jan 10th is getting closer and closer and they keep wanting more information. Instead of waiting until Jan and having my date changed to March or April, I ask for it to be changed now. There is a lady that is having her surgery on Feb 7th, she is all approved and ready, I told Lisa there is no reason for her to have to wait, tell her Merry Christmas for me. So we switched the dates of our surgeries. I am kinda bummed out because I had my heart set on Jan 10th, but I am also a little relieved, because of everything not being approved and so much still yet to do, I won't be as rushed. My day is comming. I know when God is ready, he will let me know. It's funny, he already knows when my surgery date is, and how everything is going to come out. I just have to keep reminding myself, it will happen, in his time, not mine. Please pray for me. Deb G

Deb, I'm bummed for you too. I know you were so looking forward to January 10th but I know it was stressing you out also. Feb. 7th will be here before you know it, I promise!! Besides, we have a ski trip to plan! Yeah!!! We'll definitely have to do it before the 7th though. God will work things out for you. Like you said - He already has. You just have to wait now for Him to let you know. I think you are doing the right thing. And it was very, very nice of you to give up your date. You are such a giving person and that action just proved it yet again! See you soon, Susan

Thanks Susan, you are such an angel Deb

Hey Deb, you know my 1st appt. with MUSC I waited 2 months, got there for my pre op with DR. Byrne and they said, oh, sorry, we cancelled your appointment didn't they tell you? NO! So I had to go back in another month!!! Then my hubby was with me, so I always say there is a reason for everything. Who knows, but God has a reason ;) Well, I will pray for you still and now the other girl is blessed and you will get double blessed for being a blessing right back to her!!! God Bless!! I love you!! Deb PS YOU ARE SO SWEET and I have enjoyed your comments!!

I KNOW IT WAS HARD FOR YOU TO CHANGE YOUR DATE, BUT WHAT A SWEET GESTURE FOR YOU TO LET THE OTHER LADY HAVE YOUR EARLIER DATE!! SHE'LL REMEMBER YOUR KINDNESS FOREVER. I'M STILL PRAYING FOR YOUR ANSWER IN GOD'S TIMING SO I KNOW YOU WILL GET THE PERFECT SURGERY DATE. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

Hi Deb, I know the feeling hun and I'm sorry your date has changed. I actually missed 3 dates and had the 4th cancelled by Lisa while I waited to be approved. She and Dr.B had given up hope that I would be approved so she said she was taking me off the schedule and maybe I could try back later. I pushed even harder at that point just to show everyone that what GOD has planned no person can change. Lisa was shocked when I called and told her that I got approved. She actually said "I really didn't think it would happen for you". I'll never forget those words just as I know that lady will never forget you for allowing her to reach her goal even sooner than she imagined. Stay strong hun, our FATHER did not bring you this far to forsake you now. This surgery will take place for you when it is absolutely the best time for it. Feel proud of yourself right now for being so generous and understanding of others feelings. Who knows, when it's your turn maybe someone will return the favor?

Thanks you all, your kind words helped to heal the cut. I'm not giving up, I WILL be on the loosers bench with you soon. DebG
