MGB date getting closer

[Guest guest]

Hi everbody. This is Rhonda from Indiana. Just wanted to let you

know that I am actually getting closer to getting a date nailed

down. Barb called me this morning. She hasa to check with Dr. R. to

see if I can go to or if I will have to go to DRH. I have

asthma and she thought that might mean I will have to go to DRH. I

know it will be sometime the last week of November.

I got my form in the mail yesterday from the Indiana Insurance

Commission. I need to sit down and figure out how to word what I

want to say to them. I hate doing this sort of thing. I always feel

like I am writing a short novel when I am trying to explain

something. This will probably be my last shot at getting Cigna to

pay.

I'm glad to see you posting again Lara. Do you know when you will be

having surgery yet? I know it seems like we have both been waiting

forever along with Cathy Morrow. I'm not sure how long you have been

waiting, but I know it's been quite a while. I started researching in

February and found out about the MGB in late April. I've been waiting

on Cigna since the first of June. It actually seems longer than that

to me. I want this so bad. Have you heard anything from Cathy. I e-

mailed her privately but got no reply. I'm kind of worried about

her. I wish if she is lurking that she would at least let us know

she is not up to being on the list right now. I know it has been

hard for me to watch all these new people come on and get approval

and have surgery so fast. I am happy for them but I have to admit I

have to fight the ugly green monster from time to time.

I finally went to our local bank that we do business at and checked

into getting a loan to have surgery. I can get the money so that is

what I am going to do if this thing is not settled with Cigna before

the end of November.

Good luck to all of you that will be crossing over soon. To all of

you still waiting, one day at a time is all I can say to you. I know

the struggle of waiting. I feel I have been on terminal hold

forever. I finally might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Bonded by our experience, strength and hope
