It's been a long struggle but after submitting my file and appealing and submitting and appealing over and over again, I got the letter today!!! I am finally approved by my insurance for surgery. I had to stop reading the boards..I never thought I would be joining you on the losers bench. I have spent the last 12 months in a deep depression. I had given up. My wonderful husband and kids said "Mom, don't quit! Just try once more!" I am so glad I have them to hold me up when I could not hold myself up! Surgery will be scheduled soon!! I want to hurry before they change their mind!! haha I cannot wait to see what 2013 holds for me now! I am so excited to start my life over in 2013!!
I am currently waiting for INS approval... Just been a few days, so will be a couple more weeks for sure.
If I am approved the first time around, I will be extra thankful. And if not, I will remember to keep trying!
Determination gets us far!
