Well, it's done.

My paperwork, anyway. I faxed it to the center this afternoon. My doctors should have faxed my records to them by now, since I saw all of them last week and asked them to write letters for me (I managed to catch a cold for my trouble, also. Damn doctors' offices.:sick) Hopefully everything will be sent out to my insurance company soon, because I want to have surgery at the end of the year. For one, it would be a marvelous Christmas present to myself. Two, my deductible is paid for 2006. Save money anywhere you can, I always say. Three, I want as much time to recover as possible before the spring semester starts at my university, mainly because I am afraid of having a wacky reaction to the anesthesia. When my mom had both knees replaces, she had a weird reaction, and wasn't the same, memory and stamina-wise for a couple of months after the surgery. That is what really scares me the most. I have to really concentrate and stay on track next semester if I expect to get my Master's in May.

Good luck, Laurend! Do yourself a favor and follow up on the submission. With time being so important you don't want even a couple of days to be wasted because someone didn't get a fax. Just call your carrier and ask if they have received the request for precert and whether any information is missing.

Fingers are crossed for you!!
