Keep on trekking...

OK, so yesterday I finally had the follow up with my pulmonologist.  As opposed to the last time I saw him on an outpatient basis which happens to be the last time I went for surgery approval, I now have mild asthma and mild COPD.  Because of the asthma, though, the COPD and the sleep apnea, he is labeling me a moderate risk for surgery.  He faxed his report today and tomorrow my surgeon will be putting in for insurance approval.  The office called me to ask where I was at with the pre-op procedures as I was leaving the pulmonologist and they told me it takes 7-10 days typically to get insurance approval so all remains status quo for two weeks.  I am getting tired of waiting for surgery that he said in April that I would have in a month and hope this last leg goes quickly!
