Nikki, it sounds to me like you have a much better handle on your attitude than I did at this point in time. Pre-op. Kudos to you!!
Just hang in there!!! It will happen, It Will Happen, IT WILL HAPPEN.
I agree I would call the insurance company even though your lawyer said , "No".
I had an incident where if I had not called Social Security myself I would not have found out some very important info till almost three weeks later.
I really like your positive notes all over the house routine. I think I am going to suggest it to my daughter.
Take care,
Nancy S.
