Update about my surgery which is now moved
So the past 2 days have been horrible. So much stress and anxiety and no one I know understands it and I have no one to talk to about it. They just tell me to not stress and that is soooo hard.
Anyways my surgery was set for march 11 and now is bumped to some time in April. We will find out by Friday when in April. My insurance is limited insurance and has not been telling me the correct info this entire time. Because I live in CA, I am able to switch insurance to the Obamacare insurance that started for people with Preexisting Conditions.
The problem is that I need a letter from my family doctor, a letter from surgeon and I need to fill out tons of paperwork and have it handed in all by the end of the day Friday. As of Saturday they are not accepting new patients until 2014! So this is me, freaking out and stressed. I had already planned to take the time off of work an had to explain to my boss why now I need that time off sometime in April. I also have to switch my moms plane ticket from NY to CA to April.
I am just so scared something else will go wrong. I need all the positive thoughts I can get. If this works out, they will pay 100% of my surgery costs as long as we pay a $2500 deductable first. Getting $2500 is another thing I have to deal with.
I need a hug

I know it is very frustrating but look at it this way, at least there is another option to help out financially. These past 7-8 months have been horrid on my nerves. And this past month, waiting on my insurance authorization seems to have been the longest part of it. I felt like things just was not working in the way they should be. So I somewhat understand your frustration about the waiting. and it is awful!!!
First of all (((big hugs)))
Secondly, I get the waiting part. I have been given the run around by insurance for a month. As of now I finally have authorization pending, and it has been for a week and a day. I'm PRAYING it goes through today! I will be thinking of you in my prayers as well! Feel free to add me too!
