BCBS/IL - Approved at Last !!!
OMG! Can you picture me right now? I am doing cartwheels. OK, maybe not physically but mentally I am. OMG! I cannot believe what I woke up to this morning. Yesterday being Saturday, I was busy with normal weekend chores and errands, the kids were off in different directions, hubby was busy with his fishing boat restoration project. No one ever thought to check the mailbox. Well, that is until my eldest, night owl, son apparently thought of it sometime last night because there was a pile laying on the island in the kitchen. As I thumbed through the mostly junk mail, there popped up the ominous, plain white envelope from BCBS of Illinois. Those who have followed my blog know I was pretty much convinced I would have to take my fight to a lawyer to get my benefit coverage. So, with that knot of tension in my stomach, I opened the envelope and began reading. This is my third letter so naturally my eyes jumped to the important part:
"Decision: Certify / approve benefit reimbursement for proposed bariatric surgery."
I know it's been said a thousand times already but words truly cannot express how happy I am right now. I am down right euphoric! And yes, I started crying. This time tears of joy and relief. I have a chance at a renewed life.
PS.....My surgeon wasn't copied on this letter so I get the honor of calling and letting them know myself. You can be sure that will be first thing Monday morning. Now my next struggle will be to get a surgery date and the preparations for that. I have to keep telling myself to stay calm. There is a ways to go yet. Aw what the hell, it's Spring and it's cloudy here and about to rain. That leaves me only one thing to do ........."I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain! What a glorious feelin', I'm happy again......!"
