Default Approved today!

I know this is double from me but I should have started new thread!

Well I'm in FL right now and I got a phone call from my DR office TODAY!
APPROVED! YIP! YIP!
She said as soon as I get back I can get in!
The soonest being April 28th! I told her that was too soon as I will just be getting hme on the 12th and preping for this will take a little bit of time. SO she said any Monday all thru May would also be good!
Dr. fees are covered 100% and I pay 20% of the Hosp. also My Dectuable is already paid for the year from where I had the NovaSure procedure for my periods.
I am SO excited right now!
I can't wait to get home!!!
