Guess what? ;)

Yesterday was my 28th birthday as well as my mom's birthday! It was a very nice day. We had a really good lunch together. I am her youngest child, her only girl (3 older brothers), and I was born on her birthday. Pretty special, if I do say so myself!

I told the nurse navigator that I spoke with on Friday that I was going to give them a call yesterday to see if they had a "birthday gift" for me! I did, but by that time, they must have all gone home for the day, darn it!

So, this morning I had a voicemail on my phone from them, and they asked that I give them a call. I did, and the nurse navigator answered the phone. I told her who I was, and she told me that she was very excited to tell me that "YOU ARE APPROVED!!!" Wow! Great news! She said, "and by the way, Happy Belated Birthday!" I didn't expect that I would hear anything this soon! I was actually approved on my birthday, so it took Aetna only 6 days to decide! Way to go, guys!

So, my appointment with the surgeon for my initial consult will be on Tuesday, July 6th, @ 10:15 a.m. That is the day after my 7th wedding anniversary. So much happening, so fast. I really don't think it has hit me yet, because I'm feeling pretty laid back about it still. That is not too common for me in exciting new circumstances, either! I just can't believe it is really happening! That phone call was definitely a huge relief, though!

Thanks to all who sent prayers and well wishes my way! It is certainly appreciated! First goal was to get an approval...CHECK!!!

More to come soon!
