StephC's Journal

So the last time I wrote I was whining about a tooth being pulled (still a little sore) well I had written that entry at 7 in the morning, I took the day off of work since my daughter was driving back to college and I wasn't feeling real great. We decided to go to lunch near the turnpike so we drove separately as we were going she was infront of me, there were 2 cars that were coming towards us, my daughter was a good 10 car lengths in front of me, anyway the car in front stopped to make a left...

I'm in pain. I had a old root canal tooth break off and had to get it pulled. So I guess I won't go in to work today. Not a big deal since I didn't have any work to do. I didn't hear from Nate yesterday afternoon so I am going to call him today to see what dates we have to pick from. It would be so cool if I could get it done this next monday! Pray for me!

:update: oh yeah I'm approved!! :dance: yeehaw! I called insurance yesterday morning to check on my status and they said they hadn't gotten anything from the surgeon yet - I was like oh man! bummer - :think so I called and the PA said they had just sent all the info in on the 1st of november so I should give it a few more days - last week he told me it took a week to 4 weeks to hear from the insurance - I don't think they had even sent out the files - I musta lit a fire under the doc's butt...

I feel ready now - I finally got fiscal reports done at work, everything is in order here so I can take time off any day now for the surgery. And I bought myself a pretty blue sweat suit.

I called my surgeon today to see if they had heard from the insurance company, not yet but everything has been submitted and she said it normally takes 1 to 4 weeks to hear from them I was busy at work so didn't have time to stew over it. Went to prayer meeting tonight and talked with my friends. I got an encouraging word from Teresa - I said pray that it happens fast and she said maybe its not happening fast for a reason. Maybe theres things you need to deal with or take care of before you...
