Default Going for my LAST appointment today, then on to insurance!

Just had to share....I'm jumping through my very last hoop today (i.e. my very last appointment)....I have an appointment for an echocardiogram at 7:20 this morning. Hopefully the test results will come back soon, and then it's on to insurance submittal...and hopefully quick insurance approval!

Thanks everyone. The guy doing the echocardiogram told me that my test results should be received at my surgeon's office by the middle of the week. I spoke to the secretary at the surgeon's office, and I'll probably get scheduled for the first part of June, as long as my insurance goes through without a hitch. I've got my fingers, toes, legs, eyes, and all possible body parts crossed, lol. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!
