OUCH - Need a pick me up today

[stillrose]

So for the last 6 months I've been going through hoops to get things in order so I can get this med procedure done that will change my life and improve my health. I thought I was at the point where I was just waiting for insurance approval only to discover the surgeon I've been working with - his practice is closing the beginning of next month!

There will be no one local who can do the procedure. They are sending out letters with the four practices the surgeon is recommending but all of them are going to be an hour or more away. So even if I don't have to redo the 6 months of hoop jumping again (and please please please pray that I don't) I'm still going to have to take time off work, go meet with the new surgeon and then submit the paperwork which could take another two weeks to process.

I've been shooting for a window at the end of March because it will work best for time off for work (2 week recovery).

Not to mention having the surgery done so far away will make it that much harder to get it done.

This just sucks. I'm not frigging giving up though. I've committed myself to doing this and by hook or by crook I'm doing it. I'm upset, anxious but I'm also a little pissed off.

I don't blame you for being pissed off. Why in the world didn't the surgeon warn you earlier his practice was closing.

Good luck and may everything going smoothly with the new surgeon.

Good luck. Make sure you are happy with the new surgeon. Life changing surgery needs to be done by someone who really understands the impact it has on your life.

The whole medical system can be *so* frustrating. I hope it all comes together for you!
