6th Month
on November 9, 2009 6:26 pm
So November is my sixth month and im actually getting extremely nervous.. Whether I actually get this surgery is up to my pcp because she now has to write up a six month letter that states what I've been doing over the course of these last few months, that was supervised!.. which only about a month was actually "Supervised" Because of me not having a pcp and then switching one who was obviously incompetent of following me thru this journey..
So now I have to gather all my medical records for the past 6 months and give them to her so she can view the weight on the forms and try to make some sense of what is needed by my insurance company.. If she doesnt do it i would have to start the whole 6 months all over again.. :-(
Im feling so anxious I could Faint
Pray for me please
I have an appt with her on the 19th I'll keep you guys updated
