Rick,
You've been on my mind so much lately, wondering how things were going for you since the insurance change! I'm SO jazzed for you that it's all coming about and you're just around the corner from the "other side"
It'll be here before you know it, and it's true what we all say.... "Hang on tight, you're in for the ride of your life"! But, my Lord, what a ride it is!!!!!
Good luck RIck, and God speed!!!

Thumbs up Daisymom and Lynne!!

Girls, I'm so thrilled for you both! It's really exciting to see everyone getting close to that day, and remembering just 4 weeks ago today how great I felt when I woke up from surgery and they said I was doing fine, then off they rolled me to the ICU. I would never have believed that I'd just had surgery, I felt fantastic, and you will too!!
Sure, there are days since then that I wouldn't have given you two cents for any of it, but, those days pass and with all the wonderful support that this group gives you, you'll get through the ones that aren't as good as the others!
Good luck to both of you, I send my prayers and good thoughts your way for a safe and speedy, uneventful recovery!!!
God Speed!!!

Default Congratulations Rico_sd

I'm happy to hear that Kaiser is approving this surgery for you. I hear that it's very hard to get them to approve it. So, good luck to you. I hope everything goes EXCELLENT!
