Default I'm in dictation as of today....

Everyone....I finally got into dictation today...please tell me what to expect now. Do you think it will take long? I am due back to work on August 30th and I know, that will not happen, but do you think it will take long to be scheduled for surgery, I am with sharp Reese Steely. Any boost of confidence about this would help me tremendously. when i saw on the computer that i was in dictation i ran to my daughter to share it with her, now when my husbnad gets home, I CAN HARDLY WAIT...Anxious to hear from any and all of you...I am still scared but I am really anxious....
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE....

Susie...

I think I was only in dictation about 10 days (with Dr. Callery). The insurance approved me for surgery within a couple of days after receipt of the request and report. I think Dr. Callery is now scheduling for the middle of August, but I'm not sure. Dr. Potts might have a shorter time frame. Good luck to you!

Thumbs up Susie,

CONGRATULATIONS! You should hear from Leslie within two weeks if insurance approves. Be ready to set a date!
