I spoke with Aetna on Friday, and my nurse advocate said she'd received my file on the 16th, but that she was running behind with her reviews. She asked me a few questions, and the conversation seemed really positive. She said she'd get to my file on either Monday or Tuesday (today or tomorrow)

Today at 3:30, I got the call. I'm APPROVED for my VBG to DS revision!

Now all I need is my date... I'm shooting for late April or early May. I'm traveling from Seattle, Washington to New Jersey, so there's plane tickets to buy... hotel to book... car to rent.

Yikes!! It finally feels REAL!!!!!!!

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
