Still Waiting…
No…I haven’t heard anything yet on whether or not my surgery has been approved by my insurance. However, I’ve come up with a “plan B” of sorts just in case I am denied for some reason. Considering that my doctors all feel that I cannot wait to have this surgery, I feel that it’s necessary to get it no matter what. I, myself, cannot afford to pay for the surgery “out of pocket“…BUT, after talking with my mom over the weekend, she told me that if necessary that she will pull the money from my grandfather’s estate (our inheritance). The money can be wired to my account overnight and then I can get scheduled immediately for surgery!
SO…this is “plan B“. Not exactly what I want to do by any means, but…it may be what I may have to do in order to get this taken care of. I’m not willing to go through the “appeal” thing if my insurance denies me coverage. That process can take months…if not years, and well…according to my doctors I may not have that much time without surgery.
So now…I wait.
In the meantime, I know that my loving husband still hasn’t told you about his good news…he’s a little slow sometimes. Yeah…well I’ll harass him for ya to update on this.
So…any plans for Father’s Day weekend??

Glad you have a plan B. No plans Mike has to work and Erin will be recovering from having 7 teeth pulled.
What better way to spend inheritance money than to use it for something that will improve your health! Most people spend it on stuff that is here today and gone tomorrow. Your Plan B will be an “investment”.
Insurance companies suck. Why do they have to hesitate when all of your doctors are saying that you need the surgery? I don’t get it. I’m just glad that you have a back up plan. Good luck with everything, sweetie!
Too bad you have to have a Plan “C” as well– but I’m still confident Plan “A” will work. I love you!
