Default thanks

Thanks to everyone for sharing in the excitment with me. Emmy, I have paificare insurance. From what Lisa said they usually approve in 2-3 days. But it seems you have been awaiting insurance approval for longer then that. I'm nervous because my insurance will change on March 1st, I'll still ahve Pacificare so I dont think I will have to start over or anything, but my deductable will go up $750 (from only $250) anyway that is why I'm hoping for a speedy process, and to get the surgery done before March 1st. From what it looks like, that should be a good possibilty. Thanks to everyone for your great support and sharing in the excitment with all of us.
