Finally APPROVED!!!!!!
I am sooooooooo happy. I called Tricare Prime
today and received my authorization number. They
already faxed it to the surgeon. <br>YIPPEE!!!<br>Only 11
days left!!!<br>Wow… <br>Well, I have been kinda
nervous about this whole ordeal, but I think I am ready.
I have written letters to my children (just in
case) and my parents.<br>Does anyone have any last
minute tips? Thank you for all of your encouragement
throughout this whole Insurance wait. I waited six weeks and
thought this day would never come. 
Thanks
