YEAH for ME...A DATE

O.K. well my first meeting with Dr. Houston went wonderful yesterday.  Also had my NUT Eval and that completes the requirements for the Insurance.

Of course still have to wait on approval, but we will think positive thoughts.

As of now, my tentative date for surgery is Jan 11th.

I'm sure as I get closer my questions will start coming.

I have said it before but I will say it again......This is an awesome forum, I have learned so much here and things I never thought of, I heard of.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  lol

Many Many Thanks, Ronda and John.


Rhonda

Congratulations!  It is probably a good idea to get the holidays behind you before having surgery.  What surgery are you planning on having?

Congratulations on your surgery date!  That's a nice way to start off the year!!

Thanks.

I am going for DS.

Rhonda I am so happy for you.  It just seems like yesterday when we met and you were just gathering all the facts and wanting to know how the processed worked.   Now you have met Dr. Houston and then just have a nut eval and then off to insurance.  You will be switched before you know it...

January 11th will be here before you know it... heck Feb 24th will be here before I know it (that's my 1 year surgiversary)

If you have any questions - ask away you know we are all here for you

Thanks John, it does seem like yesterday.

Got an e-mail from Heather (at Dr Houston's office) today, they got my paperwork for the NUT eval and now all paperwork has been sent to Insurance.

Now sit and wait for APPROVAL. 

I was anxious to get surgery by end of year, but now really glad to have date for early Jan.  I can get through the Holidays and then start the New Year out right.

I am so very glad to have met you.  If not I wouldn't have gotten this far.  What an inspiration you and Ronda are.  Dr. Houston had great things to say.  lol  When he found out I lived in Crossville he asked who I knew and said never mind, it had to have been John & Ronda.

How lucky for me to be involved with such LOSERS.  hehe 

Can't wait to start Journey.

Soon I'll have some pics and a tracker.

Rhonda

How exciting!  I saw you got your letter before I could even send you my PCP example letter.  You're really moving along nicely.  I'll also help answer any questions that John and Ronda can't answer.  That will probably never happen, though.  They're amazing in their knowledge and so friendly. 

Aw how sweet.....but you are still no. 1, and the queen.

I'm so excited for you. I hope everything goes smoothly on your approval. They are good at CMC, so I'm not worried, you will be on your way in no time. Dr. Houston is awesome!!!!
