8 days and counting?

I have been sooo busy with work it is tax time and things are getting busy. I
have two positions at H&R Block I am a Tax Advisor and a CSC (receptionist).

I received a call from my surgeon’s office on Tuesday (2/18) to say they did not
have my new insurance information. This of course distressed me since my surgery
is in 8 days March 3rd. The information I faxed over was somehow "lost" and not
in my chart. This is something I have learned to expected from this office
as of late. I gave the information to Randy over the phone and then faxed over a
copy again. Randy is new to this equation (he has taken over from Roxanne) to my
dismay the original ins. info. was sent and given to Roxanne in January. I
contacted my insurance on Tuesday morning to find they had no info. about me.
As of Friday, I called and talked to the office manager, I told her that if the
surgery was not approved before my pre-op date (Thursday, 2/27) I was not going
to go through the pre-op again just to have the surgery cancelled again.


I am trying to keep very low key about this this time. I have not talked to much
about it at all. It would be extremely hard to find out it had been cancelled
again. So I am trying not to get hopes up or looking forward to it to much. I
was in a great down ward spiral the first time.

I will keep you updated this week as things move along. If everything does go as
planned I will go to the hospital Monday 3/3 at 6 a.m.

bye for now

    Hi Marie,

    I totally know how you are feeling. I have had my chart lost twice and my
    referral lost as well. I have been waiting patiently and feeling down as
    well. I get my hopes up then down. I am adding you to my prayers. Keep the
    faith and stay strong. It will happen. Hang in there. My surgery is
    finally set for June 3rd. Excited sometimes…….

    Always,
    Juani
