Earlier this week I phoned Joanne at Dr. P's office and again asked if all the paperwork was submitted to the insurance company yet. (and again, she yelled at me for worrying.) Given the week I have had, I proceeded to snap back. This seems to be the only approach that breaks through her barriers and by the end of the conversation she was giving me the info I was needing. She had submitted all the paperwork along with 70 extra forms and documents (Univ. Hospital is out of network for my insurance and they need to prove medical necessity.) She hadn't heard anything back and thought that was a good sign. Thursday, I received a very nice message on my cell phone from her informing me that the insurance had approved my surgery and it's all a go. (I was relieved and elated at that news, but quickly panicked, as I realized we won't be postponing anything.) That's okay, since I don't think I can go through the weeks approaching surgery all over again. I will be going up for preadmission testing on Thursday, May 15th. I will get as many questions answered then concerning the surgery. (prep, hospital stay, visitation, etc . . .) Looks like it's really happening. I'll let everyone know what I find out on Thursday. Love to all!

Thank you to all of you for your sweet words of encouragement. This weekend will be faster than most, but I think it's this "getting ready time" that is so difficult. It should be a relief to get to Wednesday! We love you all!
Joyce, Tony and Ashley
