Queen B,
My PCP (with SCMG) began documenting my trials before she requested the referral. It was approved the first try. It really sounds as if it might be approved this time for you with your PCP and orthopedist. I will certainly hope for that for you. Best wishes.

Sounds like you have all your ducks in a row.. good luck to you.. even if you have to fight.. it is worth the fight.. and as I have said all along and will say again.. the harder you have to fight, the more you will appreciate it.. and maybe remember all of the struggles you had to go through to get approval. Document all this, keep a journal.. I did and I go back to it from time to time to remind myself so I don't fall off the wagon.. much luck to you..

Thanks Christina. I do have a journal and I have been keeping up on writing about every obstacle. if I didn't have this place I swear I would be driving myself, and my husband probably, insane.
