Re: MGB date getting closer

[Guest guest]

Dear Rhonda,

You are another one who has been here since I first found this site, and to

whom I owe a debt of gratitude. Let me say it now. Thank you.

I totally understand the green monster that you refer to, as I am sure does

everyone on this list. Your day is absolutely coming, and you have even

found out that your day will come with or without the insurance company.

That, at least, must be a comfort. I will keep looking for your postings, and

watch as you shout out that you've got a date and then watch fondly as you

cross over and join the ever widening cirlce of post-ops.

I feel fortunate that my efforts were relatively easy and I am eagerly

awaiting my turn to dance, which is now only 8 days away!

I know you will hold us all in your heart as we cross over. But have no

fear, we will not rest unitl you are on the right side of this line and you

come join all of us who have so benefited from your wisdom and encouragement.

This is an awesome group of people here. All of you, Betty, Flo, Cathy,

Gloria, My angel Amy, , Oh gee, too many to name, Ruqayya, Jon,

, (See how I put those names together)each and everyone of you, pre

or post op, such help you have been to me. And we won't even go into the

love I've gotten from my Trude! You have carried me along in spirit, eased

me along when the going was a little too slow, and always found the time to

welcome the newbies and stroke the wannabes, and support and rejoice with the

post-ops. What a family I have found in all of you. It makes me cry. As

this group continues, and continues to grow and inspire, how can anyone not

succeed?

With love and appreciation, and anxious preparation for the ride down 95 next

week, I am proud, so proud, to know each and every one of you!!! PhillyJude

Hi Rhonda, you are not alone in your wait. I have been waiting since

February also. I had Cigna and went through everything you have gone

through. It is hard this past month to see all of these newbies come and go

so quickly. Our turn will come. I am going in January. I changed

insurance for next year and have been already approved come January. I miss

Carhy Morrow also, I left her a message but haven't heard back. I am hoping

she is lurkinng and will come to the Western NC support group on Saturday.

She was at the first one, and we will all miss her if she can't make this

one. Good Luck to all of us still waiting, we have seen it all.
