tentative tt date

went to doc and he said we have to document the rashes under my tummy for 6 months in order for medicare to pay the hospital part. he says no way will they pay his part.  i have had the rashes for years. they even had to medicate me on the date of my surgery. so i am getting documentation from my primary and taking picture of medication and of my tummy.  if it is accepted by the hospital, then probably medicare will too.  if it goes well, i will be having my hernia repaired, it is huge, and the tt on 8/26/09.  i want to get it overwith because of this hernia. it hurts sometimes but mainly it scares me what with the noises it makes and the rolling around it does. i would hate for my intestines to get entangled, know what i mean?  wish me luck. vick

Hi Vickie,
Congrats on setting the date.  You'll be so happy once it's done.  My hernia made gurgling noise....it was high up on my stomach at the incision point from appendix surgery I had years earlier.

Best wishes on your upcoming procedures.....you'll do fine!!

sometimes i think there is a rock n roll band in there, playin and dancin. lol vick

Wishing you luck that it gets approved.  So you can have tt and hernia repair.  that hernia does not sound fun at all.

Hugs

cindy thanks for the support. vick

That sounds painful, Vick.  Hope everything goes your way!
