I have finished the last of my testing this morning,

I will offically become a Pre-op on Wed when I go for my Cardiac Clearance. Cardiologist needs read all my test then give a Yea or nea on the surgery.

Them comes the long wait for the HMO approval.

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."

I'm glad you made it through your last test, you know what happen to my last test Gr-r-r-r! But it's OK mid summer is probably better for my surgery anyway!!!
Good luck with your cardio.

Yes I remember reading about your Psyc eval....I was meaning to ask you, why on earth did you see a nurse practitioner?

Anyway, it turns out today wasn't my last test. They want ANOTHER EKG. I had one done March 21st and it will be too old by the time they schedule me for surgery.

Apparenly, tests need to be under 8 wks old to be acceptable.

The only good thing that came up is she mentioned surgery is planned for the end of May.

Congratulations! Your on the down hill slide now! The insurance shouldn't (ideally) take more than 30 days to approve. Good Luck!

Oh my...You're a week ahead of me! I wonder who'll be approved first.

Hopefully we'll be that same week apart for surgery too.

Hopefully it won't. I was told today that the cardiac testing was only good for 60 days.
