The roller coaster ride begins

Hello friends,

I'm out of lurkdom.  I try to log on everyday to just become more and more familiar with the process and to read everyone's comments. I've gained strength and confidence with every post I read that I am making the right decision for me. It's going to be a lot of work but I can only say that I appreciate the information that everyone shares, it's very realistic and I hope to become more active with my posts as I move through this process.

Well, I just found out  that the surgeon faxed my information to the insurance company today. So the countdown/rollercoaster ride begins today. I am so excited and I can't wait for my approval to come through. I'm thinking positively and I won't accept anything less than an approval :)  I'll keep you posted and I hope to join in on the Monday chat's soon I keep missing the time for some reason.

Hi Lourdes, you will find that you get more out of the support group if you past and share.  If you do not ask, we don't know it is a concern for you.  Great to come out of hiding.  Congrats on getting to the point of faxing things to the insurance co.  Hope that you have a surgery date soon.  Looking forward to chatting on Monday.  Hugs, Kathy

I also just came out of "lurkdom" and decided to truly join this group. It really does help to get involved with other people.  I have been struggling and feeling like I'm having to do this by myself when I don't. 

I'm sending good thoughts your way and hoping you get your approval very soon.

Thank you everyone for your words of support, I appreciate it very much.
