Kathie,

Picking you up and spinning you around! That is so fantastic!

Congratulations! Do ask her to fax your authorization in writing

please. I received my authorization in writing last week. My surgery

was November 19th! Somehow it scares me that they could have come

back and asked if I had anything in writing regardless of the

authorization number I had!

Hugs,

Theresa

Congratulations!

It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? And I can't believe she called

you on a weekend. That's amazing.
