Meet some of the requirements!!

Mar 30, 2010

Got a call today from my regular doctor's office.  He said that YES, I DO meet the criteria for "severe musculoskeletal dysfunction" so I have my two "things wrong with me" that insurnace needs.  Now just have to do this 3 months worth of diet/exercise that's monitored by the doctor/dietician and HOPEFULLY insurnace will approve surgery for me.

I called the surgeon's office a soon as I got off the phone with the local doctor and got an appointment for April 6th!!!  I assumed I would have to wait for months to get in!  WOW is all I can say.

Will cost me $250 up front and hopefully they will be able to help me do whatever I need to do for insurance to cover things.  I am suppose to go to a nutrition meeting first and a psych eval and THEN see the surgeon.  I better get my list of questions ready!

We are going up to Great Falls to visit my parents for Easter, so Scott will just drive home on his own on Sunday so he can teach his class on Monday and I will stay with the boys until Wednesday.  Not a big deal for Jackson to miss two days of school, but not sure about Bryan.  He might just have to come home with Scott on Sunday, although he has Monday off school.  I guess we'll see what happens!

I'm excited, but nervous.  I didn't think that this would happen so fast.  Of course I still have a LONG way to go before I can actually have surgery, but I'm finally starting down the path I think is best for me.  Hopefully I will know a lot more about what I'm getting into by this time next week and will be able to come up with more questions to ask those who have been here before me.
