APPROVED!!! BCBS FEDERAL

WEll, I got the call!! THE CALL.   I was not prepared for it, and honestly I hadn't called the insurance or the Dr's office because I was prepared for a DENIAL.  Being 5'5" 226lbs and no supportfrom my PCP I thought I was dead in the water.  But THANK GOD I am APPROVED!!   I'd be jumping up and down had I not twisted my knee at work yesterday and jacked it up. Now I have to figure out how much time to request off from work, and since my job is so demanding (I work in a men's prison, and currently in the special housing unit so I am up and down stairs lifting their food trays and everything for 8 hours a day) I hope I have enough time to take! Keep sending your good thoughts my way as I figure all these details out. OH!!! The details!! LOL I am scheduled for Nov. 3rd with pre-op on Oct. 28th at Orlando Regional. I was hoping for Ocala, but I'll take what I can get.   YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

DO you have a roving patrol? If so what would be the chances you could switch posts for a few weeks? What is the possibility of working the control room? Just some thoughts. Good luck CONGRATS!

Congratulations on getting approved!!  Keep us updated on your progress.

Awesome...Keep us Updated!!!

Stacey - We do have a roving patrol, and control, and a few other cushie jobs (if any job at a prison could be called such) lol. However, those posts are bid on every 3 months.  I couldn't knock someone out of their bidded post. I bid on my post for the hours and days off. It's not the best post - working with the worst of them- but I stay busy and the days go by quickly.  However, for recovery purposes it's going to be rough.  I may just have to go leave without pay if things get rough. Praying I recover well. I've had two c-sections...hoping this isn't any worse. Thank you all for your encouragement! I'll be asking many questions from here on out I'm certain. :)
