So excited!!!

I'm approved!!!! After 6 months of insurance requests I finally got my approval letter today! There are so many emotions that I want to jump and cry and throw up all at the same time! My husband and kids are almost as excited as I am.....looking forward to a healthier, happier mom!
Anyway, didn't want much else, just had to share my good news with good people who understand.

Thank you everyone....
I haven't found out about a surgery date yet. The surgeons insurance lady only takes care of insurance papers a couple days a week. When I hadn't heard from the insurance company for 6 weeks I took it upon myself and found out that it had gotten sent to the wrong department, two days later I got the paperwork. So it didn't surprise me today when I called to see the next step to take and she wasn't in again. I'm still so excited.....can't think of anyone else to tell so gonna have to calm down a bit for the night!
Thanks again, I have really enjoyed "peeking" in on you all this last few months. I've learned so much (some of which I didn't want to know!!) and can't wait to learn more the next few months.
