Long Time No Post

OK.  Heard from insurance company and now it's real.

They approved the surgery and it's scheduled.

I had hopes of having the surgery before the end of the year, but as it is, I think that the timing (January 12th) will be much better.

My pre-op visits and surgery are scheduled and having them scheduled makes it real.

I had actually started to prepare myself for the possibility that the insurance would deny it since I had been so long since I didn't hear anything for so long.

So, we have a $3000.00 payment to make to the hospital, but other than that, the insurance should cover it.  It will cost $22,000.00 to totally chance my life forever.  Not a lot of money when you think about it.

The countdown begins.
