Awww Ready... you're sweet. Would you like a photo of the Eiffel Tower without my face in it?

Once I get all my pics online, I'll send you a link to the album.

I can't believe Dep and Ready are so close to surgery! How exciting!

Can we do a first name roll call for my benefit? I figure if I'm going to know you girls for a long time, I probably should learn your names instead of screennames!

I'm Tina

I think once I get the decision then reality and excitement will sink in. I appreciate all your kind words and support and I will definetly keep everyone posted.

I know it's shocking to hear that it can take up to 30 days. The question to ask UHC is what their general turn around time on pre-approvals is. By law insurance companies have up to 30 business days to process or review a claim from the date they receive it. Our company (the one I work for), for instance, has a general turn around time of 10-15 business days give or take a couple of days.

I understand what you mean about the way you're feeling. I thought I'd get more excited the closer I got to the end but I'm getting more and more apprehensive.

You're in my thoughts. And may UHC move quickly!

and I will be right where you are! I can't wait until you get your date! I will be right there next to you...in spirit! I bet you are so excited as it draws closer. I think it's exciting and scary because now reality sets in. I think the jumping up and down hits when you get a date in writing, then shortly after the nerves hit you. I bet you have went through every emotion that God gave us!

This made me feel much better. I just got off the phone with UHC and they said the same thing. Thanks Joy and appreciate your support~!

Melissah you nailed it on the head. I have went through every emotion that I can think of in these last couple of days. I am calmed down now and trying to stay busy so I will not think about it so much. Thanks for your support!!
