My stuff was faxed on the 30th. I called to see if it had been received and they told me it wasn't there. So, I called my pcp referral girl and she called them last Wed. They told her they were working on it right then and that I should be getting a call that afternoon or the next day. Still NADA.

Yes, my persistance did pay off. I am happy for you to get the ball rolling again. You do have to be your own best advocate. Hey, we are so close maybe we will be surgery twins. I hope so. > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > > >
