Sorry Dixie, I totally forgot. I took your advice and got a case manager. Her name is Barbara. She seems really nice. She gave me a Dr.'s name that takes both of my insurances. A Dr. Oxley in Franklin, TN. That's just about 10 minutes south of Nashville. His seminars are Aug. 9, and 23, Sept. 20 and 27. These are on Monday evenings. They are hoping to start a Saturday seminar in October. His one requirement is no smoking 3 days prior to surgery. I can handle that more then trying to quit for two months prior. The stress of quitting and trying to get everything done for the Dr., I would probably end up gaining weight. But I did want you to know what I found out today. Thanks. I called Medicare yesterday and they also gave me surgeons names. What I can't figure out is, the Dr.'s I've checked on says Medicare won't pay, so they don't take it, but they are giving me Dr.'s names, so did my Blue Care case mgmt. She's going to call me back on Monday to find out what Dr. Oxley's office told me.
It does help to have some one on the inside helping. You're a doll, Kathy
